Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha Niken 2018
MEX tested the new tricycle from Japan for you and was very enthusiastic. The front end rides as if on rails on narrow mountain passes as well as in faster radii. The innovative concept of the NIKEN allows for incredibly fast and yet equally safe progress in all weather conditions. The highly praised Cross-Plane three-cylinder has been perfectly adapted for the NIKEN with a little more flywheel mass and a different final gear ratio. To all interested parties: Don't be put off by the looks or the "three-wheeler image". Be sure to test ride it!

The new concept of the Niken GT enables incredibly fast and yet at the same time safe progress in all weather conditions, as if on rails, the front leads on narrow mountain passes as well as in faster radii. The Crossplane three-cylinder engine, already highly praised in the MT-09, has been perfectly adapted for the Niken GT with a little more flywheel mass and a shorter final gear ratio. Especially in the GT version, which is suitable for touring, the Niken can shine as an absolute all-rounder. To all interested parties: Don't be put off by the looks or the "three-wheeler image". Be sure to test ride!
