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 three-wheeled 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 three-cylinder, 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.
