This look and configuration like nothing you have seen before is also proof that it rides like nothing you have experienced before. The MWT-9 is a “Cornering Master” featuring a twin front wheel configuration and it redefines what it means to slice through turns during sporty riding. It boasts a high level of performance that lets the rider fly freely through twisty roads dotted with tight, successive corners and ever-changing road surfaces. The road-tracking performance of the two front wheels provides excellent feedback from the road and achieves outstanding cornering capabilities, from braking to entry in tight turns, thus allowing riders to experience an easy-to-ride character like none before. The model’s riding potential and qualities were given form under a design concept of todoroki (a resounding roar).
The styling fuses dynamic and seamless bodywork with aggressively themed high-precision mechanisms, and sends an echoing message rippling around the world that tells of the new horizon of riding enjoyment to come and the potential in Yamaha’s Leaning Multi-Wheel technology. The MWT-9 will be what opens up a new category of sporty mobility.

Design Concept for a 2-Seater Sports Car
If Yamaha set out to build a sports car, what would its design be like? This sports car concept fuses quintessential sports car proportions with uniquely Yamaha ideas that draw on our specialties as a manufacturer of various mobility products. The tangible design elements evocative of motorcycles throughout the car entice the driver to get behind the wheel.

The Resonator125 is a concept model that proposes a lifestyle with an authentic sport bike for young people who have not yet discovered the joys of motorcycling. With a lightweight, slim and compact chassis and an instrument panel assembly using an innovative device, this model melds elements of the near future with the nostalgic for a new fusion of motorcycle eras. It also sports wood panels on the fuel tank and seat cowl with authentic wood grain material used in guitars and engravings on the muffler, fuel tank cap and more done with same intricate techniques used for brass wind instruments. The result is a motorcycle that seeks to inspire young people with concepts and qualities that only the Yamaha brand can deliver.

The only thing you hear is the sound of the wind rushing by; this is the future of road-going sport bikes. The PES2 is the product of a pursuit to create a sport EV that can provide performance never experienced before. The second motor is built into the hub of the front wheel, making this a 2WD motorcycle. From starts to cornering, the PES2 heightens the feeling of road contact and ensures efficient transmission of drive force to the road in a way that never feels unnatural to the rider. Also, the “smart helmet” serves as the base for a next-generation rider-support system.

This electric mountain trail model was developed with a theme of coexisting with nature. The torque from the electric motor is precisely controlled by means of our electronic control technology to deliver performance that makes the PED2 easy to use even for beginners as well as delivering plenty of drivability at very low speeds. The PED2 uses the same main electric power unit as the road-going PES2. The only noise emitted by the PED2 is the light hum of the motor, allowing you to quietly enter the woods and ride on trails without disrupting the serenity of the sound of the birds and the wind rustling the branches overhead. Whether it is for bird watching or just exploring a new trail, this is mobility that opens up new way to enjoy the great outdoors.

This electrically power-assisted mountain bike mounts an electric motor on a high-performance bicycle and is designed for adults who want to enjoy the freedom of being able to ride on virtually any terrain. It lets you feel the presence of the power unit where it is most appreciated, like in starts, acceleration and hill-climbing, but with a design that minimizes the visual presence of that same power unit. For added assurance in riding longer distances on any type of terrain, the model is fitted with a large-capacity 400 Wh battery and a multi-function instrument panel. This YPJ project is about offering new value and new scenes for bicycle riding, and this mountain bike concept model redefines the positioning and functions of electrically power-assisted bicycles from a vehicle that makes riding easier to one that opens up a new realm of sporty recreational riding.

MOTOBOT is an autonomous motorcycle-riding humanoid robot that approaches riding operations from a human rider’s standpoint — with no modifications made to the motorcycle itself. The development theme is “Beyond Human Capabilities.” In general, robots are developed to specialize in a specific task and this typically allows them to surpass the capability of humans for that task. Utilizing this advantage, the end goal of MOTOBOT is to become capable of competing against Valentino Rossi’s lap times around a racetrack. The knowledge and highly advanced fundamental technologies gained from this challenge will be put to use in developing new products and creating new value.

This model takes the MT-09 and its 846cm3 in-line 3-cylinder engine based on Yamaha’s “Crossplane Concept” as its platform. The MT-09 TRACER is a variation that offers sporty performance for everything from riding through city streets to touring. It features a front cowl that incorporates a layered structure, handlebar grip covers and other equipment that provides a high level of functionality and comfort in touring.

Bringing both fun to the daily commute and excitement to the weekend jaunt, this sport bike delivers riding enjoyment that can be felt directly and intuitively by users of all skill and experience levels. Its engine developed in line with Yamaha’s “Crossplane Concept” adopts a 270° crankshaft and provides a pleasing feeling of acceleration and dynamic ridability.

Based on a “Street Cheetah” development concept, this new MT Series model is powered by a 320cc in-line 2-cylinder engine. It takes the lightweight, slim and compact chassis and engine of the YZF-R3 as its platform and shares the sharp, original and dynamic styling of the MT Series.

This is the flagship of Yamaha’s supersport lineup. It was developed under a “High Tech-armed Pure Sport” model concept that aims to provide a tangible experience of the technological ideals used for the YZR-M1 MotoGP machine in a production model. To achieve the performance potential to make it “the fastest bike on the circuit,” this model is powered by a 200 hp engine and boasts advanced electronic control technology like the first 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit on a production motorcycle to achieve high levels of handling performance and ridability. The high-spec YZF-R1M adds electronically controlled suspensions, lightweight carbon fiber cowlings and an interface that records a variety of information useful for racing.

With sporty styling inheriting the DNA of the R-Series models, this model features a liquid-cooled in-line 2-cylinder engine. The YZF-R3 takes the 250cc YZF-R25 as it base model and boosts engine displacement to 320cm3 to raise performance levels while maintaining ease of handling in daily use. The model on display is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).

This model features an elegant body design that visually expresses the flow of power, and it is powered by a 1,679cm3 liquid-cooled V4 engine that delivers breathtaking acceleration and an incredible feeling of power. Electronic devices such as the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) and Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) help fine-tune the engine’s torque characteristics. This VMAX’s awesome acceleration performance is akin to having the previous model’s “V-Boost” throughout the entire rpm range.

This is the latest model of the “TMAX” that pioneered the “automatic supersport” category with its release in Japan in 2001. The combination of the 530cc engine that delivers strong torque in the low- and mid-speed (rpm) ranges, the belt drive that provides a linear feeling of acceleration, and an aluminum frame and swingarm with a good balance of light weight and high rigidity, gives this model high levels of sporty performance.

In the 37 years since the release of the first SR model in 1978, the series has maintained the same basic structure and specifications and has continued to be a long seller with a devoted following of fans. It features a simple and beautiful body design and is powered by a big single-cylinder engine that lets the rider enjoy a feeling of abundant torque and power pulse. The muffler on the current model uses a nano-film coating that gives it a jewel-like luster.

This is the first of Yamaha’s Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) models. It embodies our “growing world of personal mobility” with its new type of riding enjoyment derived from the feeling of assurance provided by the two front wheels and the added comfort they bring to the ride on a variety of road surfaces. It adopts Yamaha’s Unified Brake System that utilizes sensors fitted to all three wheels to optimally control the three brakes to inhibit wheel lock during braking.

This electrically power-assisted high-performance production road bicycle was developed in line with the ideas of the “YPJ-01” concept model introduced at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show. In addition to providing a powerful assist in starts, acceleration and hill-climbing, the YPJ-R’s main features are a design that minimizes the presence of the electric power unit and a light, agile ride.

From utility use to recreational and sport driving, Recreational Off-highway Vehicles (ROV) are used for a wide range of purposes, and demand in this category is growing, particularly in North America. The YXZ1000R 2-person pure sport model is Yamaha’s fourth ROV entry and mounts a newly developed 998cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine.
