FULLY-EQUIPPED ALL WEATHER SPORT TOURER

FULLY-EQUIPPED ALL WEATHER SPORT TOURER

The NIKEN GT's touring specification includes a high screen, side cases and a rear carrier base with passenger grips - together with heated grips and a comfort seat, as well as a main centre stand and extra 12V DC outlet. With its high levels of comfort and functionality, this radical 3-wheel Sport Tourer motorcycle is built for year-round enjoyment, whatever the weather!

COMPACT INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH LCD DISPLAY

COMPACT INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH LCD DISPLAY

As a NIKEN GT rider you'll enjoy a unique view ahead. The broad shoulders of the front cowl enhance the overall feelings of confidence and stability, and the futuristic look is completed by the compact instruments that feature a white LCD display on a black background for easy day time visibility.

DOUBLE EXTERNAL UPSIDE-DOWN FRONT FORKS

DOUBLE EXTERNAL UPSIDE-DOWN FRONT FORKS

In order to achieve sportbike handling capabilities, the NIKEN GT's maximum lean angle extends to 45 degrees, and this has been made possible by the use of the Ackermann dual axle steering mechanism, together with a cantilevered suspension system mounted to the outside of the wheels. The double "external" upside-down front forks are equipped with rebound and compression damping adjusters that enable the rider to dial in their ideal suspension set up, and the relatively narrow 410mm track contributes towards the NIKEN GT's natural steering feel - as well as keeping overall width to a minimum.

SPORTY AND LIGHTWEIGHT COWL WITH DUAL LED HEADLIGHTS

SPORTY AND LIGHTWEIGHT COWL WITH DUAL LED HEADLIGHTS

The sporty front face features lightweight dual LED headlights housed in a downward curving aerodynamic cowl that looks like nothing else on the street, and the dual position lights serve to emphasise the strong and planted look of the double front wheels. The broad nose cowl and high screen give the NIKEN GT rider good protection from the elements, and together with the natural riding position, this advanced LMW is ready for everything from thrilling corner carving through to sport touring over the weekend. YZF-R1 derived mirrors feature integrated LED turn signals, and are designed to give a clear rear view even when the riding position changes. In contrast to the broad-shouldered front end, the slim and upswept tail and separate license plate holder convey a feeling of agility, underlining the NIKEN's revolutionary style.

HYBRID STEEL AND ALUMINIUM FRAME

HYBRID STEEL AND ALUMINIUM FRAME

The NIKEN GT is designed to master a wide range of riding situations, and so in order to achieve high levels of straight-line stability together with sporty cornering performance, a new kind of hybrid frame has been specially developed. The head pipe area is manufactured from cast steel, while the swingarm pivot area is cast aluminium, and the mainframe connecting these two assemblies is made from steel tube. By delivering the required levels of strength, rigidity and flexibility precisely where they are needed, this hybrid design enhances the planted and natural feel of the leaning double wheel front end, and ensures sport bike agility together with excellent handling performance.

BOLD AND FUTURISTIC DESIGN

BOLD AND FUTURISTIC DESIGN

The NIKEN GT's muscular and athletic body design clearly shows that this innovative new 3-wheel Yamaha is designed for energetic riding. The twin front wheels form the focal point from which the futuristic cowl and integrated fuel tank flow, giving a unique mass forward look that emphasises NIKEN GT's bold and unique profile. Yamaha's designers have sought to highlight the distinctive technology used in the LMW system, and rather than being hidden away, the structure and workings of the Yamaha-exclusive mechanisms are there for all to see. From the rider's viewpoint the NIKEN GT has a rugged wide-shouldered appearance that contrasts with the slim fuel tank, giving a unique riding style unlike any other motorcycle. The upward curving main seat features a wide, flat design with excellent rear support that gives high levels of comfort.

847CC CP3 ENGINE

847CC CP3 ENGINE
