Yamaha's breaking new ground in the powersport
turf, debuting an all-new Leaning Multi-Wheel
(LMW) vehicle with its 2019 Niken.
Designed with hard core cornering in mind, the
Niken, aims to elevate cornering performance to a
loftier level than a conventional road-going street
bike. To do this, Yamaha leveraged its massive R&D
and manufacturing might to establish a fresh and
sporty, leaning three-wheel category. Sure, there
are other three-wheeled motorcycles and scooters
available; however, they don't handle like this one!
Unlike anything
Yamaha has ever
created for the
public, the Niken
represents a shift
in thinking for
the company.
