Tricker

2006 Yamaha Tricker Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2006 Yamaha Tricker utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.8 HP (13.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18.8 Nm (13.9 lb-ft) at 5,950 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 75.5 HP per liter and a 1,550 rpm working window between peak torque (5,950 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Tricker measures 118 kg (260 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
