Default Yamaha Concept Motorcycle

I know this is a Honda site, but saw a story about a Yamaha concept 4-wheeled motor cycle.
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/07/t...eract-concept/
I think it looks sick, Transformer or not.[8D]
Hope to see more pics of it from the show.
What do you guys think about it?

Why? That thing answers a question nobody is asking. It has all the problems of a bike with none of the solutions of a car, it is the worst of both worlds. I think scooters are easy enoughto ride, much cheaper to buy and maintain. I guess the only person that would buy that is a 65 year old guy with room in his garage that doesn't think he can learn to balance.

I think it will sell, mostly because it is something new and different. I see becoming sort of a high speed touring bike, maybe similar to a busa. I think it looks cool, but cool in the sense of seeing it in a movie or just as a concept. I do wonder how well it corners. I'm sure it does okay, but I can't image itcould matchthe lean angle of a true bike.

That is a road going quad. It looks cool, but should not be categorized with motorcycles even though it may share some parts.

I would buy it for rain/snow(if I had the money to spare). And of course some tires with ridiculous traction in said conditions. I would literally ride every single day if I could keep the bike up in the snow. I ride in the rain now all the time too, but it kinda scares me in rush hour traffic here in SJ right next to phily because everyone will be going 65 or 70 and all of a sudden everyone stops to look a just about any retarded thing on the side of the road.

Oh yea, I also hate driving cars. They frustrate the **** outa me.
