Overview
The Yamaha Niken GT is a sport tourer produced from 2018 to 2022. The 2022 model has an 847 cm³, four-stroke inline three-cylinder engine producing 115 hp (86 kW) and 61.5 Nm of torque at 8,480 rpm; wet weight is 263.1 kg.
At 820 mm, the seat height gives a useful measure of the reach to the ground, while the 263.1 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. The 18.2-liter tank and fuel consumption of 5.60 liters/100 km work out to a calculated range of about 325 km. Fully adjustable front suspension and adjustable rear preload and rebound damping let riders tune the setup, while the assist-and-slipper clutch helps steady the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
