Yamaha introduces a new feature

It looks like Yamaha has developed a bike that will not need drop bars.  In fact, it even has front wheel drive.

wonder how quickly the gyros keeping it upright will run down a battery?!

It’s an interesting design concept but who’s it for? The beginner rider that has a driveway drop or two? I don’t think it’s designed to help if you lose grip or traction in a corner…  Maybe shorter riders? My friend has so many questions.

Look kinda like Harley foot pegs.

More time to think about it.  Older riders that still ride the big touring motorcycles.  Them bikes get heavier as we get older so, this would benefit them.

Even gyros would struggle to keep a 900 pound Harley upright when my foot slips out in the sand. I mean, when someone's foot slips out in the sand. Damn these things are heavy.

Thank goodness for the "engine protectors" (crash bars).

Makes no sense to me...

Yamaha MUST be aware that in order to turn a motorcycle, it HAS to tip over at least a little. 

I'm sure I could learn more by watching the video, but fox doesn't seem to like my ad blocker...

If I didn't know better, I'd say this is an April fools joke.

Hmmmmm...what was yesterday's date?
