This model is a proposal for a "High-performance Hybrid Motorcycle." Based
on Yamaha's "Genesis" design ideal and the new "G.E.N.I.C.H." ideal
reflecting the latest electronic control technologies, this model combines
the lightweight, compact YZF-R6 600cc engine and a high output, high efficiency
electric motor. It is designed to offer both the joy of handling of a motorcycle
and the comfort and carrying capacity of a scooter. Features like the lightweight
aluminum CF die-cast body with optimized rigidity balance, large diameter
wheels and long wheelbase give this model running performance and handling
similar to a 1,000cc class machine.
Furthermore, as Yamaha H.M.I. (Human Machine Interface) systems, this model
adopts ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) features aimed at preventative safety
functions and smart functions for increasing rider comfort. The ASV functions
include (1) a vehicle-vehicle distance warning system using the latest
communications technologies, (2) a cornering light system that improves
nighttime vision when turning at intersections and curves, The smart functions
include (1) a noise canceling system that greatly reduces wind noise, (2)
a short wave tandem intercom system, (3) voice navigation function, (4)
music player and hand-free cell phone function and (5) rear view monitoring
system using a CCD camera and LCD display.
