Yamaha’s new 2019 Niken GT
Canadian motorcycle enthusiasts will soon have a chance to experience Yamaha’s revolutionary Leaning Multi-Wheel technology with the introduction of the 2019 Niken GT to the Canadian market.
The Niken GT takes Yamaha’s new threewheeled platform to the next level with the addition of standard amenities like heated grips, standard side cases, a touring seat and a tall windscreen.
Equipped with an Ackerman steering system, twin 15-inch front wheels and an adjustable, dual-upside-down fork, the Niken concept was designed to deliver an amazing corner-carving experience and elevated rider confidence in all conditions.
The increased contact patch of the Niken produces a higher level of front-end grip (compared to a conventional motorcycle) that is particularly noticeable during cornering and braking.
Deep lean angles up to 45 degrees are achievable, a direct result of the stability and technology of the Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) system.
Ample torque and acceleration are provided by a retuned version of Yamaha’s threecylinder, 847 cc CP3 engine controlled by an electronics suite that includes three riding modes, three-level traction control and a standard quick shifter.
The new Niken GT comes with an MSRP of $20,999. Delivery is expected in February of 2019. An early deposit program is available for those who want to be among the first to own this revolutionary three-wheeled sport tourer.
