Powered by a liquid-cooled, in-line, 3-cylinder engine and equipped with LMW technology to reduce the effects of changing ride environments and to deliver a high feeling of stability when cornering. Yamaha has unveiled a new motorcycle that will be coming as a 2018 model called the Niken One glance at the photos and you can see this isn't your typical motorcycle. While Yamaha has shown the bike at the Tokyo Motor Show today, it's not releasing full technical information until its European debut at EICMA in Milan on 6 November.
Yamaha unveiled a Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) at the Tokyo Motor Show this year. There isn't much information around with regards to specifications or the tiny details, but what we do know is that the Niken will be based off of the MT-09 and feature the same (or similar) inline, triple-cylinder engine, come with fully adjustable suspension (at the back at least, we can't even begin to fathom how playing with the front affects things) and will have the regular smattering of rider modes and electronic riding aids. Sporting two 15″ wheels up front, braced by dual-tube upside-down forks, the Yamaha Niken should make cornering firm and responsive due to the unprecedented front-end suspension mechanism.
The other is that the 15-inch front wheels need to be able to lean without rubbing as they tilt with the Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW)technology and dual-tube upside-down front forks. Yamaha has some pretty futuristic concepts at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, including bikes controlled by robots and artificial intelligence But perhaps the biggest shock was the 2018 Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 three-wheeled sportsbike. The fact that Yamaha has chosen to reveal more details and specifications about the Niken confirms that the leaning three-wheeled motorcycle will only be released as a 2018 model, and will possibly go on sale next summer.
This is because the Niken is based on a leaning-chassis design with three wheels, as it explores a different type of motorcycling fun. Then came the MWT-9 3-wheeler concept back in 2015 , which has now been developed into a full-scale production machine in the 2018 Yamaha Niken. Yamaha is about to unveil a high-performance, sports-oriented tilting 3-wheeler called the Niken, which appears to be a full production bike.
The Yamaha Niken is the first production leaning three-wheeler. This model is equipped with LMW technology to reduce the effects of changing ride environments and to deliver a high feeling of stability when cornering. Look for more details to surface at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan on November 6.
It makes use of what Yamaha calls Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) technology that helps it with enhanced stability on various road surfaces at the same time providing an enjoyable ride on winding roads. Clearly, the front-end suspension mechanisms here are unprecedented, and what we do know is that the Niken will ride atop 15-inch front wheels with two dual-tube upside-down forks to create that sporty look and feel. The Yamaha Niken employs Yamaha's Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) technology to reduce the effects of changing ride environments and to deliver a better stability when cornering.
Today Yamaha has unveiled its large-displacement Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW), the Niken. As far as the design goes, the Yamaha Niken looks identical to the concept that was unveiled a few years back. Yamaha states the Niken will be equipped with the Leaning Multi-Wheel Technology which will reduce the effect of changing road surface and provides stability when going around corners.
Yamaha Unveils Radical, Three-Wheel Niken Sportbike At Tokyo Motor Show. It is most likely the production version of the very similar-looking MT-09 three-wheeler concept shown three years ago, then called the MWT-09. Searching our archives, we find mention of it stretching all the way back to 2011 The first time we got a real taste of the Niken, though, was in 2014 when Yamaha brought its 01Gen concept to EICMA Apart from fairing, that vehicle looks very much like the Niken we have today.
"This model is equipped with LMW technology to reduce the effects of changing ride environments and to deliver a high feeling of stability when cornering," states Yamaha in a media release. The oddball beast debuted at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show , and while it's not the first leaning three-wheeler we've ever seen - the Piaggio MP3 immediately comes to mind - it's definitely the most surprising.

Officially labeled a Leaning Multi-Wheeler” (LMW), the 2018 Yamaha Niken is the direct result of Yamaha's 2015 MWT-9 3-wheeler concept. Back in the early months of 2017, it was uncovered that Yamaha was finally making a push to refine the design of its large-capacity, leaning three-wheel trike concept First seen in 2015, and dubbed the MWT-9,” patents began to reveal the skeleton of what Yamaha at the time described as, A cornering master, effectively merging a three-cylinder 850cc engine with a seamless and dynamically styled body.” The Yamaha Niken is based on the MT-09, and shares the same three-cylinder motor, but it's the first leaning production three-wheeled motorcycle of its type.
What the tuning fork model has relayed to us is that the Yamaha Niken will use 15″ wheels up entrance, with dual-tube the other way up forks. We have no other details than the engine type and the fact that it comes with 15-inch front wheels with dual-tube upside-down forks. Yamaha says the Niken pairs two 15-inch front wheels with dual-tube upside down forks.
The Niken broke cover at the Tokyo Motor Show on 26th October and full details about it will be released in Milan, Italy on 6th November. It uses the same three-cylinder, 847cc engine as the MT-09, and a bike-style rear suspension. Powered by the acquainted 900cc three-cylinder engine discovered on the Yamaha FZ-09, that's all that's acquainted about Yamaha Niken, as this isn't your atypical motorbike. The manufacturing Niken will use the 900cc Three-cylinder engine from the Yamaha FZ-09 and that's the place any similarity with an current Yamaha motorbike ends.

Described as a large-displacement Leaning Multi-Wheeler” the Niken is an Inline Three powered bike that utilizes LMW design similar to that found on the brand's current Tricity scooter.
Yamaha pulled the wraps off an interesting new machine at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, the three-wheeled Niken. The Niken” and Motoroid” are part of Yamaha's Tokyo Motor Show series, which will see the manufacturer showcase 20 different concepts over the course of the festival. Called Yamaha NIKEN Leaning Multi-wheeler (LMW), it features a liquid-cooled 4-stroke, fuel injected inline 3-cylinder large displacement engine blessed with DOHC (that's double overhead cam, if you don't already know…) and 4-valve per pod, and it promised to make you feel ‘safe' when executing corners - all thanks to its unique three-wheel configuration.
We've ridden the Yamaha Tricity - a 125cc LMW bike - and it is an absolute hoot to ride, with cornering abilities that will make you feel like Valentino Rossi and a stability and agility that most other bikes can only dream of. The idea of putting all of that handling ability into an MT-09 is only crazy if you vehemently hate the idea of having an extra wheel on your motorcycle somewhere. 2018 Yamaha Niken Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) revealed - three wheels, double forks and it leans link. 2018 Yamaha Niken Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) revealed - three wheels, double forks and it… link.
The all-new Yamaha Niken comes with the brand's patented leaning multi wheeler (LMW) technology that supports stability during cornering. Launched at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Yamaha Niken is an ambitious attempt to fit the LMW premise into a gnarly, large-capacity roadbike stance. Piaggio's MP3 was a hoot to ride and is perhaps the most sucessful three-wheeled motorcycle to reach full production.
The production Niken will use the 900cc 3-cylinder engine from the Yamaha FZ-09 and that is where any similarity with an existing Yamaha motorcycle ends. Yamaha has unveiled a new motorcycle that will be coming as a 2018 model called the Niken. A three-wheeled leaning trike from Yamaha that's based around the FZ-09's engine is just around the corner. A Look at the Yamaha Niken Leaning Multi-Wheel Trike.
At the helm of this large displacement Leaning Multi-Wheeler is a liquid-cooled in-line 3-cylinder engine and proprietary Yamaha technology to reduce the effects of changing road conditions and environments - thus delivering an adrenaline-fueled level of stability when cornering those hairpin turns. Called Niken, the LMW will have two wheels up front with riding ergonomics of a motorcycle which means leaning will be easy on it.
And the 2018 Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 three-wheeled sportsbike will handle in a similar way to any two-wheeled motorcycle. The Piaggio and the Yamaha differ from other three-wheelers by employing a front-suspension setup that allows a three-wheeler to lean like a bona fide motorcycle while offering reassuring, tripod-like stability as well as a larger front contact patch. Yamaha refers to the Niken as a Large Leaning Multi Wheel (LMW), since it features two wheels up front and one at the rear.
Yamaha's original press statement went on to spotlight the extra traction and cornering stability provided by the twin front wheels, which at the time had already been seen on the company's 125cc Tricity, a multi-wheeled trike that was unveiled at EICMA for the European market in 2013. Where other trikes take a more sedate approach, the Niken looks like a full-on sport bike, but with the added stability of a dual front wheels. The front end of the Yamaha Niken comes with 15-inch wheels coupled with dual tube upside down forks that not only look good but are also being claimed to offer superior performance and stability at high speeds.
The fact that Yamaha have unveiled Niken at Tokyo, and say the full spec will be revealed next month suggest that this is certainly a 2018 model, so we'd expect it to arrive sometime during summer next year. Aiming to take the aggressive and fun attitude of the MT-09 and combine it with double the front-end grip, it's the first leaning production three-wheeled motorcycle of its type - while Piaggio have long blazed a three-wheeled trail with their MP3 family. One of the most dramatic bikes to be revealed at the Tokyo show this morning was this astounding production three-wheeler from Yamaha, based on the hugely popular MT-09 platform.
What the tuning fork brand has relayed to us is that the Yamaha Niken will use 15″ wheels up front, with dual-tube upside down forks. With two wheels at the front, grip feels just about unlimited, stability is frankly amazing and the riding experience feels something akin to a regular motorcycle that counter steers with ease - except you can lean more or less as far over as you like, no matter what the road conditions are like, in total confidence. Yamaha Niken three-wheeled motorcycle is amazingly planned for production.
Little has been revealed in the way of details but it is almost certainly the production version of the very similar-looking MT-09-powered three-wheeler concept shown three years ago, then called the MWT-09. Details are sparse, with Yamaha only giving overall dimensions and specifying that the Niken will be powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve inline-triple.” It will have 15-inch front wheels and dual-tube upside-down forks. At the 45th Tokyo Motor Show, Yamaha unveiled the Niken, what they are calling a Leaning Multi-Wheeler,” or LMW.

Yamaha has unveiled a new motorcycle that will be coming as a 2018 model called the Niken. A three-wheeled leaning trike from Yamaha that's based around the FZ-09's engine is just around the corner. A Look at the Yamaha Niken Leaning Multi-Wheel Trike.
At the helm of this large displacement Leaning Multi-Wheeler is a liquid-cooled in-line 3-cylinder engine and proprietary Yamaha technology to reduce the effects of changing road conditions and environments - thus delivering an adrenaline-fueled level of stability when cornering those hairpin turns. Called Niken, the LMW will have two wheels up front with riding ergonomics of a motorcycle which means leaning will be easy on it.
And the 2018 Yamaha NIKEN MXT850 three-wheeled sportsbike will handle in a similar way to any two-wheeled motorcycle. The Piaggio and the Yamaha differ from other three-wheelers by employing a front-suspension setup that allows a three-wheeler to lean like a bona fide motorcycle while offering reassuring, tripod-like stability as well as a larger front contact patch. Yamaha refers to the Niken as a Large Leaning Multi Wheel (LMW), since it features two wheels up front and one at the rear.
Yamaha's original press statement went on to spotlight the extra traction and cornering stability provided by the twin front wheels, which at the time had already been seen on the company's 125cc Tricity, a multi-wheeled trike that was unveiled at EICMA for the European market in 2013. Where other trikes take a more sedate approach, the Niken looks like a full-on sport bike, but with the added stability of a dual front wheels. The front end of the Yamaha Niken comes with 15-inch wheels coupled with dual tube upside down forks that not only look good but are also being claimed to offer superior performance and stability at high speeds.
The fact that Yamaha have unveiled Niken at Tokyo, and say the full spec will be revealed next month suggest that this is certainly a 2018 model, so we'd expect it to arrive sometime during summer next year. Aiming to take the aggressive and fun attitude of the MT-09 and combine it with double the front-end grip, it's the first leaning production three-wheeled motorcycle of its type - while Piaggio have long blazed a three-wheeled trail with their MP3 family. One of the most dramatic bikes to be revealed at the Tokyo show this morning was this astounding production three-wheeler from Yamaha, based on the hugely popular MT-09 platform.
What the tuning fork brand has relayed to us is that the Yamaha Niken will use 15″ wheels up front, with dual-tube upside down forks. With two wheels at the front, grip feels just about unlimited, stability is frankly amazing and the riding experience feels something akin to a regular motorcycle that counter steers with ease - except you can lean more or less as far over as you like, no matter what the road conditions are like, in total confidence. Yamaha Niken three-wheeled motorcycle is amazingly planned for production.
Little has been revealed in the way of details but it is almost certainly the production version of the very similar-looking MT-09-powered three-wheeler concept shown three years ago, then called the MWT-09.
