ימאהה MWT-9 הוא אופנוע קונספט שנחשף בתערוכת הרכב בטוקיו 2015, ומציג את החזון של ימאהה לאופנוע תלת גלגלי נוטה עתידני. הוא תוכנן כאבולוציה ספורטיבית ובעלת ביצועים גבוהים של טכנולוגיית LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) שנראתה ב- Niken, הכוללת אסתטיקה נועזת ואגרסיבית בהשראת השרירים האנושיים. ה- MWT-9 נשאר קונספט ומעולם לא הוכנס לייצור מלא, אם כי הוא השפיע רבות על כיוון העיצוב של ימאהה ניקן, שהושק בשנת 2018.

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.

Tech-obsessed riders wanting genuinely different three-wheel experience

"Buy a used Niken instead — it's the real thing."

$8,000-$12,000 used

The MWT-9 is one of those bikes that makes you question everything you thought you knew about what a motorcycle should look like — and honestly, that's the point. Yamaha's three-wheeler concept never hit full production, so if you're hunting one down, you're chasing a show bike or prototype, not a dealership used unit. That said, the hub-center steering and leaning trike layout it previewed fed directly into the Niken, which did make production in 2018. If you're actually after the MWT-9 aesthetic and that three-wheel leaning experience, redirect your budget toward a used Niken. You'll get the real-world version of everything the concept promised — LMW tech, serious front-end grip, and that unmistakable presence. Used Nikens hover around $8,000-$12,000 and are genuinely rewarding machines once you trust the front end. Don't chase a ghost when the production version exists and is surprisingly practical.
