Canadian motorcycle enthusiasts can get up-close and personal with Yamaha’s revolutionary NIKEN GT, featuring innovative Leaning Multi-Wheel technology, at The Motorcycle Shows across Canada.
The Niken GT combines Yamaha’s new Leaning Multi-Wheel platform with touring conveniences like heated grips, standard 25-litre side cases, a touring seat and a tall windscreen. Utilizing Ackerman geometry, twin 15-inch front wheels and an adjustable, dual-upside-down fork.
The Niken concept was designed to deliver an amazing corner-carving experience and offer elevated rider confidence in all conditions. The contact patch of the NIKEN GT produces a higher level of front-end grip (compared to a conventional motorcycle) that is particularly noticeable during cornering and braking. Deep lean angles up to 45 degrees are achievable, a direct result of the stability and technology of the LMW system. Truly, the Niken GT’s unique and dynamic characteristics make it feel and handle like no other motorcycle.
Visitors to The Motorcycle Shows this season will be able to sit on the NIKEN GT and closely inspect the Leaning Multi-Wheel setup.
