Yamaha Niken 2018

Yamaha Niken 2018

MEX tested the new tricycle from Japan for you and was very enthusiastic. The front end rides as if on rails on narrow mountain passes as well as in faster radii. The innovative concept of the NIKEN allows for incredibly fast and yet equally safe progress in all weather conditions. The highly praised Cross-Plane three-cylinder has been perfectly adapted for the NIKEN with a little more flywheel mass and a different final gear ratio. To all interested parties: Don't be put off by the looks or the "three-wheeler image". Be sure to test ride it!

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 has a great straddle. This doesn't just mean its off-road and asphalt capabilities. Rather, the Aprilia succeeds in accommodating beginners and inspiring experienced riders. It rides easily, but also very fast when needed. On the other hand, with 240 mm of suspension travel, it offers enormous reserves, but still rides really well on asphalt. A versatile motorbike!
