Yamaha Niken 900

The Yamaha Niken 900 has a top speed of ~180 km/h (estimated; Yamaha does not officially publish a top speed figure), produces 115 hp and weighs 263 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Yamaha Niken được giới thiệu vào năm 2018 như một phiên bản sản xuất của mẫu concept MWT-9, với công nghệ Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) của Yamaha với hai bánh trước giúp tăng cường độ ổn định khi vào cua. Nó sử dụng động cơ ba xi-lanh CP3 847ccm được chia sẻ với nền tảng MT-09, làm cho nó trở thành sự kết hợp độc đáo giữa thể thao và sự ổn định. Niken đáng chú ý vì là một trong những chiếc xe máy nghiêng ba bánh được sản xuất hàng loạt đầu tiên, cung cấp độ bám phía trước giống như xe hơi trong khi vẫn giữ được trải nghiệm lái xe mô tô truyền thống.

Những điều người mua nên biết

🛞

Unique Leaning 3-Wheel Tech

The Niken uses Yamaha's LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) technology with two front wheels that lean like a traditional motorcycle, providing dramatically improved cornering grip and stability in wet or slippery conditions.

⚙️

Watch the Steering Linkage

The complex front suspension and steering linkage system requires regular inspection and lubrication — neglected maintenance can lead to expensive repairs, so always verify service history before buying used.

💰

Holds Value Well

Due to its niche status and limited production numbers, the Niken retains resale value better than many standard motorcycles, though its higher-than-average new price (~$15,000 USD) means the used market can still offer strong deals.

Riders wanting wet-weather confidence above everything else

"A genuinely useful machine for the right rider, not a novelty."

$8,000-$12,500 used

The Niken is genuinely weird, and that's exactly the point. That three-wheel leaning front end isn't a gimmick once you've ridden it — it inspires serious confidence in corners and wet weather that no conventional bike can match. The MT-09 engine underneath is punchy and characterful, though the older 847cc unit in earlier models can feel rough at low revs. Used prices have softened nicely, which is where these make real sense. Check the LMW linkage carefully on any used example — it's complex machinery and servicing isn't cheap. Front tyre replacement costs three times what you'd expect, and not every dealer will touch it. Yamaha's reliability record here is solid, but find a specialist-serviced example if you can. Look for bikes with full history and avoid anything that's been dropped, because assessing front-end damage is genuinely tricky. It won't appeal to everyone and it attracts stares at every fuel stop. But if wet-weather confidence or physical limitations make conventional riding difficult, the Niken solves real problems rather than invented ones.
