The NIKEN is a unique motorcycle with a highly bold and aggressive appearance. It has the well-proven, 847cc 3-cylinder cross-plane engine, which is strong and provides excellent performance. This sports tourer offers a variety of technology and riding aids from Yamaha. We hope to see the Yamaha NIKEN, a distinctive yet fantastic sports-touring motorcycle, shortly on the Indian market.

Latest Updates
Friday, 01 September 2023 04:08 AM

Yamaha debuted the cool-looking three-wheeler Niken at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017, where it drew a lot of attention with its unique three-wheel system. Yamaha has officially introduced the Niken in the United Kingdom. Yamaha is yet to introduce Niken in India, again Yamaha has not launched this 3-wheel bike or say trike Niken in India. It is possible to be launched by next year in India.

 

Thursday, 29 August 2024 02:21 AM The 2024 Yamaha Niken GT has been praised for its enhanced stability and cornering grip, thanks to its unique dual front wheels and Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) technology. This design makes it ideal for riding on uneven terrain and provides a confident and secure riding experience. I think this innovation could revolutionize the way we think about motorcycle stability.
Monday, 26 August 2024 06:34 AM Yamaha has introduced several updates to the Niken GT, including a new 890cc CP3 triple engine, which delivers 114.9 horsepower and 90.7 Nm of torque. The engine has been modified for smoother performance, particularly suited for long-distance touring. The bike also features a 7-inch TFT screen with media functions and Garmin navigation. I believe these updates make the Niken GT a compelling choice for tourers.
Thursday, 25 April 2024 01:32 PM The Niken GT now targets a more touring-oriented audience, with additions such as 30-liter rigid side cases, a redesigned seat for better support, and a height-adjustable touring screen. These changes aim to enhance comfort and practicality for long journeys. The bike also includes heated grips, cruise control, and a 12V socket under the seat. I think these features will appeal to riders looking for a comfortable and versatile touring bike.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 03:04 AM Yamaha has refined the Niken GTs chassis and suspension, including a revised rear shock absorber and a new frame design to accommodate the engines new positioning. This has resulted in better balance and stability, especially noticeable in cornering and on uneven roads. The weight distribution is claimed to be 50:50 with a 75 kg rider. I believe this balance is a key selling point for the Niken GT.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 07:18 PM The Niken GT features advanced electronic aids, including four riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, and Custom), traction control, slip control, anti-wheeling, and ABS sensitivity adjustments. These features can be managed via a 5-axis joystick on the left handlebar. The bike also includes a USB port and media functions on its TFT screen. I think these electronic features make the Niken GT very user-friendly.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 04:58 PM Despite its unique design and capabilities, the Niken GT faces challenges in appealing to a broad market. It is priced at around 18,000 euros, which is a premium for its three-wheeler concept. However, Yamahas persistence and continuous improvements suggest a commitment to making the Niken GT a viable option for specific riders. I believe its niche appeal could still attract a dedicated following.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 11:33 AM The Niken GTs engine has been modified to provide more mid-range torque, with the maximum torque now available 1,500 rpm earlier than its predecessor. This, combined with a heavier crankshaft, makes the engine feel more relaxed and suitable for long stretches. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of responsiveness in the mid-range. I think this engine tweak is a step in the right direction.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 04:26 PM Yamaha has enhanced the comfort of the Niken GT with a redesigned seat and an adjustable touring screen that can be raised by 7 cm. The bike also features heated grips and cruise control, making it more suitable for long-distance travel. The addition of 30-liter side cases further increases its touring capabilities. I believe these comfort-focused updates will be appreciated by many riders.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 09:23 AM The Niken GTs front end, with its dual wheels, continues to impress with its stability and grip, especially in cornering. Riders need to adapt their riding style slightly to fully utilize the bikes capabilities, but once accustomed, the confidence it provides is significant. I think this unique front end is a game-changer for stability-conscious riders.
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 12:54 AM Yamahas decision to evolve the Niken towards a more touring-focused bike seems strategic, given the original models mixed reception. The new GT version aims to attract a more affluent and safety-conscious clientele with its enhanced comfort and practical features. I believe this shift in focus could help the Niken GT find its place in the market.
