If I could swing my leg over it would be good as a winter hack but not as a main fun ride. Having 2 wheels at the front compromises the max lean angle and it would be a pig to filter on

Awesome attempt by yamaha (And probably the future as electric motors become mainstream) but it looks unfinished?
Just strap two MT09 together look IMO polish the look like their 125 version but I guess that's what they are trying to avoid so real bikers might be tempted

Deserves to do well any manufacturer putting new metal out needs the buyers as bikes get less takers

It could use a curry hook in the space between the wheels!

nice concept, but Im sure it will cost a fortune. Why not just buy an mto9 and stay off wet cobbles.

Ooooooh, gizzago mister...
And as for filtering, it's narrower than a BMW!

What's the point of it? Is it just another cludge for a cat b vehicle that can be ridden with only a car licence?

Can't see the storage capacity listed anywhere.
So probably just 2 open face helmets do you think?

Lol, all my bikes have had a hoofing big topbox so storage has never been an issue. I do like the Burgs under seat storage but would happily give it up for a bigger fuel tank and a bigger engine

It's right up my street and the motor is a peach and I doubt that the lean angle is compromised that much ,price I reckon it will be around the same as a Honda xadv .
