Tricker

2015 Yamaha Tricker Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Yamaha Tricker relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19 HP (13.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18.8 Nm (13.9 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.3 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 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 (6.21 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, while factory top speed is listed at 115 km/h (71 mph).
