    Specifically developed 890cc CP3 EU5 engine

    NIKEN GT is powered by a version of our 890cc CP3 EU5 engine that has been developed exclusively for this unique Sport Tourer. Although similar to the design used on the MT-09 and TRACER 9, the NIKEN GT engine has increased crankshaft mass for stronger performance at lower rpm and more effective engine braking.

    Easy, one-handed windscreen adjustment

    For increased riding comfort the NIKEN GT features a new windscreen that offers a total of 70mm height adjustment to suit different riding styles and physiques. Its special aerodynamic design distributes air evenly to prevent the build-up of low pressure behind the rider for a stable and comfortable ride.

    Redesigned comfort seat

    The new seat has a revised shape and different padding thickness around the rider’s inner thigh area, giving easier ground access and making getting on or off more comfortable.

    Full size hard side cases

    Hard side cases with a capacity of 30 litres each are mounted to a redesigned stay system. Each case can fit a full face helmet. Quick to remove with a detachable, lockable design, they provide plenty of luggage space for long distance touring.

    Premium fit and finish

    Yamaha’s flagship Sport Tourer has been constructed to the very highest specification. From the full LED lighting to the lightweight, hand-welded, 18L aluminium fuel tank, the premium fit and class-leading finish of the black bodywork and bronze detailing underlines the special status of this unique motorcycle.

    Enhanced electronic control technology

    Ride quality of the NIKEN GT is enhanced by the adoption of a new Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) with Acceleration Position Sensor Grip (APSG) that gives you even more precise control and smoother starts. The revised traction control along with the 3-position D-Mode and cruise control make the NIKEN GT adaptable to a wide variety of conditions.

    Refined main frame design

    To accommodate the new more powerful 890cc engine as well as the adjustable screen and 7-inch TFT display the NIKEN GT’s hybrid frame is revised. Featuring a cast steel head pipe with a steel pipe main frame and cast aluminium rear brackets, this unique design gives a high level of stability together with sporty agility.

    Revised rear suspension

    For an even smoother ride the NIKEN GT’s rear suspension settings are refined – and there’s also a new lightweight forged aluminium linkage with a revised lever ratio that provides a high level of comfort and chassis stability whether you’re riding solo or with a passenger.
