At present, inverted tricycle is also loved by many motorcycle fans. What's so good about it? I don't know clearly. When I first saw Niken GT, my heart was still very shocked, and at the same time I became interested in it. This car is so special! Actually, I've seen quite a few inverted rounds, but I'm still very curious about how Niken GT looks.
after Niken GT appeared at Milan auto show, Yamaha NIKEN remained in people's memory. This inverted three-wheeled sci-fi avant-garde is equipped with Yamaha LMW system. It can be completely manipulated like an inclined tricycle or a two-wheeled motorcycle. Very simple.
In fact, the NIKEN GT is the travel version of NIKEN. In order to adapt to long-distance riding, a lot of equipment has been added, and the appearance has also changed greatly, adding side boxes and windshields. At the same time, it also adds many humanistic elements to this car.
this car has a huge body and obvious defects, and its maneuverability is not good at low speed. However, this car will not feel heavy when turning, and you will feel very light, and you can completely turn by tilting. Although it feels like a two-wheeled motorcycle bending, you should never worry about falling. The front of this car is heavy, and the operation feeling is not clear. But let's not forget that it is a big guy close to 27 kilograms.
riding on Niken GT, you will feel that you are driving a snowmobile. The tall windshield plays a role in wind protection, and the front fairing has a large area. Although the body of Niken GT is very large, there is no feeling of instability, and the riding experience is unprecedented.
as we all know, the dashboard on Duke 79 and BMW F 85 GS is the benchmark of the industry, and the LCD display of Niken GT has its own style, which is very different from others. It is really disappointing that the instrument is messy and difficult to read while driving. I wonder if Yamaha will improve it in the future.
niken gt's 15-inch tires and four shock absorbers are all hidden under the huge fairing. You can't see the shadow of the shock absorbers and wheels at all. It can be said that the front end of this car is designed very well. Although the three wheels are relatively stable, it is necessary to slow down and pass slowly on the gravel and sand sections to prevent side slip.
NIKEN GT adopts MT-9, 847cc displacement inline three-cylinder water-cooled engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 115Ps and a maximum torque of 87.5Nm. TCS tracking system, QSS quick-release system, sliding clutch, D-MODE three power modes, cruise control and ABS anti-lock braking system are all standard configurations.
the front suspension system of p>NIKEN GT adopts the patented technology of LMW, and the rear suspension is a single tube in the middle. Generally, the maximum roll of the inverted three wheels is 45 degrees, and the bending control is not worse than that of a two-wheeled motorcycle. Niken GT single disc front brake is not worrying at all.
NIKEN GT's extended windshield, heating handle, ergonomic cushion, rear armrest, etc. all reflect warm care. The 25L side box has a good capacity and can be used as a place for many things. Two sets of 12V power slots are also very practical to deal with special situations during the trip. In particular, its "tumbler" three-wheeled design will bring you a lot of fun to ride.
but as a novel model, what are the advantages of NIKEN GT over the traditional station wagon in terms of performance and comfort? In fact, to answer it, only if you control it yourself and experience the pleasure of driving will you know whether it is suitable for you. So you must pay attention when making a choice. If you just want to use it in the city, don't choose Niken GT, because it is not suitable.
the performance parameters of p>219 Niken GT Specficiations are as follows: 3-cylinder, 4-stroke and 4-valve water-cooled DOHC engine with displacement of 847ml, compression ratio of 11.5: 1, maximum power of 84.6 kW(115.PS), maximum torque of 87.5Nm(8.9kgf+m), wet multi-disc clutch and double inverted telescopic fork of front suspension system of 11mm.
