NIKEN:
Ultimate corner carving experience

The introduction
of the radical NIKEN LMW motorcycle brought a whole new riding experience to the
motorcycle world. Equipped with innovative Leaning Multi-Wheel technology and
dual-tube upside down forks, the NIKEN is built to deliver the most amazing
corner carving experience together with higher rider confidence in all
conditions.
With a larger
contact patch between the tires and the road surface, the two leaning front
wheels give increased levels of front-end grip that is particularly noticeable
during cornering and braking. It is this unique and dynamic characteristic of
the NIKEN that makes it feel and handle like no other motorcycle. With its
proven ability to deliver the most exciting corner carving experience, this
unique motorcycle is introducing a new era in Sport Touring design.

Leaning Multi-Wheel concept is designed to master adverse conditions, making it
ideally suited to all-weather, four-season riding on the most challenging
mountain roads. Fitted with a range of specialized equipment, the new NIKEN GT
brings added functionality to the LMW concept by offering increased
long-distance touring capabilities together with elevated levels of rider and
passenger comfort.

The NIKEN GT's
wider and taller touring windscreen gives greater upper body protection from the
wind and weather, and the specially designed comfort seat enhances the sport
touring experience for both the rider and passenger. Premium quality
quick-release 25-liter ABS side cases are light, compact, lockable, and easy to
handle. For added convenience, the rear of the carrier base features integrated
passenger grips.




Heated grips
ensure riding comfort in all weather conditions, while the all-LCD instrument
display keeps the rider informed of the warmth level. There's also an extra
12-volt outlet to power or charge various electronic devices. The NIKEN GT model
also comes fitted with a centerstand that facilitates convenient parking, chain
maintenance, and tire inspections on longer trips.
