Yamaha Mwt-9
The Yamaha MWT-9 is a concept motorcycle unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, showcasing Yamaha's vision for a futuristic leaning three-wheel motorcycle. It was designed as a sporty, high-performance evolution of the LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) technology seen in the Niken, featuring a bold, aggressive aesthetic inspired by human musculature. The MWT-9 remained a concept and was never put into full production, though it heavily influenced the design direction of the Yamaha Niken, which launched in 2018.

What Buyers Should Know
Concept, Not Production
The MWT-9 is a concept motorcycle unveiled by Yamaha in 2015 and was never produced for public sale. No production version means no real-world reliability data, resale market, or parts availability exists.
Leaning Three-Wheeler Tech
The MWT-9 concept showcased Yamaha's Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) technology with two front wheels, previewing the direction that eventually led to the production Niken model. The Niken is the closest buyable alternative based on this design DNA.
Consider the Niken Instead
If the MWT-9 styling and tech appeals to you, the Yamaha Niken (launched 2018) is the production successor worth evaluating for actual reliability, resale value, and ownership experience.
