Yamaha Niken

The Yamaha Niken has a top speed of 180 km/h (estimated, manufacturer limited), produces 115 hp and weighs 263 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

تم تقديم Yamaha Niken في عام 2018 كتطور إنتاجي لتقنية LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) من Yamaha، والتي تمت معاينتها لأول مرة من خلال مفهوم MWT-9 في معرض طوكيو للسيارات 2015. تشتهر بكونها أول دراجة نارية مائلة ذات ثلاث عجلات يتم إنتاجها بكميات كبيرة في العالم، وتتميز بعجلتين أماميتين مع نظام تعليق على شكل متوازي الأضلاع يسمح للدراجة بالانحناء مثل الدراجة النارية التقليدية. أعادت سيارة Niken تعريف الحدود بين الدراجة النارية والدراجة ثلاثية العجلات، مما يوفر مزيدًا من الثبات والثبات في الواجهة الأمامية مع الحفاظ على تجربة ركوب أصيلة.

ما يجب أن يعرفه المشترون

🔧

LMW System Maintenance

The Leaning Multi-Wheel front suspension has more components than a standard fork, meaning higher servicing costs. Buyers should budget extra for routine maintenance and inspect the parallelogram linkage for wear.

🏦

Strong Resale Value

The Niken holds its value better than most sport-tourers due to its niche status and limited production numbers. Its unique design keeps demand steady among buyers seeking something unconventional.

⚙️

Proven Tracer Engine

The 847cc triple-cylinder engine is shared with the highly reliable Tracer 900, giving it a well-documented and trusted powerplant. This means parts availability is good and long-term reliability concerns are minimal.

Experienced riders wanting all-weather touring confidence

"A fascinating, capable machine — but buy carefully or pay dearly."

$8,000-$13,000 used

The Niken is genuinely unlike anything else you'll ride, and that's both its greatest strength and its biggest headache when buying used. That twin-front-wheel LMW system transforms wet-weather confidence dramatically — you can lean through greasy roundabouts like it's a dry summer's day. But here's the thing: inspect those front-end linkages obsessively. They're complex, unique to Yamaha, and replacement parts aren't cheap or quick to source. Any slop, clunking, or uneven feel in the steering mechanism is a red flag that could turn into a four-figure repair. Mechanically the CP3 engine from the MT-09 is proven and durable — that's genuinely good news. Look for bikes that have had the steering linkage serviced and greased regularly, because neglected examples develop sloppy handling that undermines the whole point. Tire wear is also accelerated compared to conventional bikes — budget accordingly. Avoid anything that's been dropped, because assessing front-end damage on a Niken requires specialist knowledge most dealers don't have.
