Formally, Yamaha Motor USA arranges the Niken as a game visiting model, notwithstanding not offering any baggage choices, even as an adornment.

Not long ago, CARB distributed an official request for two Yamaha models assigned as the MXT9KGY and MXT9GTKL. In contrast to different producers, Yamaha utilizes inside model codes (counting shading assignments) for its vehicle accreditation rather than their more unmistakable customer names. Yamaha's code names pursue a particular example: display code + demonstrate year + shading. For this situation, the "GY" remains for the Niken's Granite Gray shading while the "K" is the NHTSA-assigned code for the 2019 model year (2018 was "J", and 2020 will be "L").
We additionally know from different OEM parts retailers, for example, YamahaPart.com and Partsfish.com, and much merchant sites that the Niken utilizes the model code "MXT9KGY." It pursues, at that point, that "MXT9GTKL" remains for a 2019 Yamaha Niken GT, with the last "L" being normally utilized by Yamaha for the shading blue.
For the Niken GT, we expect to see color-matched luggage and, likely, a taller windscreen. We wouldn’t be surprised to see handguards as well, like the ones on the Tracer 900. In fact, Niken GT may be positioned as an alternative to the Tracer and the Tracer GT variant. They all share the same 847cc three-cylinder engine as the MT-09, but the Niken offers a different ride experience with the second front wheel.
We expect to see the 2019 Yamaha Niken GT debut in a about a week at the EICMA show in Milan. As always, we’ll have the latest information as it becomes available right here on riderssite.blogspot.com ;)
