Yamaha Joins The Trike Party

[dndfindley]

I have owned Yamaha's and like them. They do quality work at a reasonable price. If they build this one I will buy it. http://tinyurl.com/nskdu62

Actually, the Honda F1 power plant is what caught my eye. Kinda reminds me of the Piaggio.

Not our party..!!

this one falls in the scooter catagory. In my opinion, if the wheels are that close together and you have to lock it somehow so it won't fall over, it's a scooter and I would opt for a bike. But there will be a market for it has great look...:thumbup:

:agree: It's about as pretty as a smiling puppy! :thumbup:

Likewise in comparison to the Piaggio. Yamaha does build a quality product. Never had any issues with the three I owned. One lunger 80cc (60's), Venture Tourer (80's), and V-Star (early 2000's)

:agree: Back in the day; "Yamaha", wasn't the first club that I'd pull out of the bag... but it was a REAL close second! :thumbup:

I agree with the previous post that it is more like a scooter. Not really my thing, but I am glad to see Yamaha throwing their hat in the ring.

Just sayin'...........

I don't get how anyone compares this to a scooter. The resemblance to the Piaggio MP3 architecture aside, you clearly sit atop the Yamaha, it's not a step-through-- that thing wouldn't ride at all like a scooter.

i think it looks great, being yamaha it should be reliable & if got motorcycle mileage then it will probably be a winner.

What size are those wheels? :dontknow:
It'd feel a whole lot more natural to all of us, if it's got REAL rims and rubber on it! :thumbup:

 

[Dragonrider]

Any idea about the size of the motor? That'll be the key. A 650 would tell everyone it's an upscale scooter. A 1200, would send another message...

I think i will pass on this one
