2019 Yamaha Niken GT
Niken GT
First came the NIKEN - A revolutionary Leaning Multi-Wheeler motorcycle that redefines the riding experience. Now, the new NIKEN GT Sport Tourer elevates the ride offering fully equipped all-weather control, comfort and confidence. It combines the revolutionary LMW chassis with a range of luxury touring accessories to create the ultimate cornering package, with improved comfort, practicality and flexibility.
In comparison to the NIKEN, the NIKEN GT features all of the goods of the NIKEN, and then some. At a price point of $17,299 ($1,300 more than the NIKEN), the NIKEN GT comes with quick release side cases, a taller windscreen, security alarm, an extra 12 volt electrical outlet, centerstand and more. Derived from the award-winning MT-09, the advanced CP3 inline 3-cylinder motor uses Yamaha's full range of performance technology to produce exceptional torque with linear power delivery.
Fitted with a range of touring equipment, the NIKEN GT brings added long distance functionality and comfort. With two front tires leaning in unison, the NIKEN doubles the amount of available grip for exceptional stopping power, cornering confidence, rider comfort and impeccable manners - all while maintaining natural steering feel.
Leaning Multi-Wheeler
Niken is equipped with LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheeler) technology to reduce the effects of changing ride environments and to deliver a high feeling of stability when cornering. It achieves excellent performance for spirited and sporty riding on various road surfaces and the capability to freely carve through the continuous corners of winding roads. The body design makes full use of the unprecedented front-end suspension mechanisms pairing 15-inch front wheels with dual-tube upside-down forks to visually accentuate the machine's sporty performance.
