Yamaha NIKEN (MXT850) 2020 Parts & Accessories

First introduced in 2018, the Yamaha Niken is a radically innovative three-wheeled sport-touring motorcycle powered by a high-torque crossplane-concept inline-triple engine. Utilizing Yamaha's proprietary Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) steering technology, the Niken features a unique dual-tube upside-down front fork setup on each side of its double front wheels, allowing the machine to lean up to 45 degrees in corners while offering vastly increased front-end grip, stability, and braking confidence. Designed for spirited sport riding and long-distance touring across changing road conditions, it pairs sports bike handling dynamics with the unique road-holding security of a multi-wheel chassis.
