Niken GT

2024 Yamaha Niken GT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's naked motorcycle platform, the 2024 Yamaha Niken GT relies on a 890 cc (54.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 114 HP (83.2 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 90.7 Nm (66.9 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 128.1 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Niken GT measures 270 kg (595 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,510 mm (59.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 310 km (193 miles) between fill-ups.
