Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Niken 2021

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha Niken GT 2020

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!
