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 07:51 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 12:04 PM 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 07:02 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.

FAQs

Most Popular FAQs for Yamaha NIKEN
  • How do you say the name? Is it Ni-ken or Ni-ken?

    17 April 2025 20:15

    The name "Niken" is pronounced as "n-ih-k-ai-n" or more simply as "NI-ken"[3).

  • Does the Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 require any specialized maintenance or servicing ?

    17 April 2025 20:15

    The Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 requires regular and specialized maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Key maintenance intervals include changing the engine oil every 4,000 miles or 6,000 kilometers , replacing the oil filter every 8,000 miles or 12,000 kilometers, and checking spark plugs every 12,000 miles or 18,000 kilometers, with replacement needed every 24,000 miles or 36,000 kilometers. Additionally, the air filter should be replaced every 24,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers, or more frequently if riding in dusty or wet conditions. The brake fluid needs to be changed every 2 years, and the coolant should be changed every 3 years. The chain requires maintenance every 500 miles or 800 kilometers, including lubrication and checks for slack, alignment, and condition. Other periodic checks include valve clearances at 26,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers, steering bearing play and lubrication every 12,000 miles or 20,000 kilometers, and brake hose replacement every 4 years. These maintenance tasks are crucial for maintaining the bike's performance and safety.

  • How does the Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 handle corners and maneuver compared to regular two-wheeled bikes?

    17 April 2025 20:15

    The Yamaha NIKEN handles corners and maneuvers distinctly differently from regular two-wheeled bikes due to its innovative Leaning Multi Wheel system. This system allows the bike to lean like a traditional two-wheeler, but with the added stability of two front wheels. This design provides improved grip and traction, making it incredibly stable in corners, even on wet or slippery road conditions. The bike can corner with a lean angle of up to 45 degrees, and its dual front wheels ensure that it maintains contact with the road, reducing the risk of traction loss and control failure. In terms of maneuverability, the NIKEN is less agile at low speeds compared to standard two-wheeled bikes, but once on the open road, it offers a smooth and stable ride. The bike's front end, with its double upside-down telescopic forks and dual 15-inch front wheels, effectively absorbs undulations and bad surfaces, making it almost unshakable mid-corner. However, it may require more effort to handle tight spaces and slow-speed maneuvers due to its unique design and weight distribution. Overall, the NIKEN's cornering performance is enhanced by its LMW system, providing a confident and stable riding experience, although it may not match the agility and quick responsiveness of standard two-wheeled bikes in all scenarios.

  • How does the high power output of 115 HP at 10,000 RPM impact the bike's acceleration and top speed capabilities?

    17 April 2025 20:15

    The high power output of 115 HP at 10,000 RPM significantly enhances the bike's acceleration and top speed capabilities. For instance, the Yamaha XSR900, which produces 115 HP at 10,000 RPM, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.26 seconds and from 0-100 mph in 6.48 seconds. This powerful engine also allows the bike to reach a top speed of 144 mph. The engine's ability to deliver strong torque across a wide RPM range, with a peak torque of 61 ft/lb at 8,500 RPM, ensures rapid progress and effective in-gear acceleration, making it highly responsive and quick, especially in urban and twisty road environments[5).

  • Does the NIKEN come with modern features and technology?

    01 September 2023 09:48

    Yes, the Yamaha NIKEN typically comes equipped with modern features such as an advanced instrument panel, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and traction control to enhance safety and convenience.

  • How does the NIKEN's fuel efficiency compare to traditional motorcycles?

    01 September 2023 09:47

    The Yamaha NIKEN's fuel efficiency can vary depending on riding conditions and riding style but is generally competitive with other motorcycles in its class.

  • What is the target audience for the Yamaha NIKEN?

    01 September 2023 09:45

    The Yamaha NIKEN is designed for riders who want the stability and cornering confidence of a three-wheeled motorcycle while retaining the thrill of riding a sporty and powerful machine.
