Yamaha

Premiere	Exhibit Name	New Function/ Feature
	Gen-Ryu	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
	DEINONYCHUS	Taking full advantage of the greater chassis design freedom afforded by an in-wheel motor, this is Yamaha's proposal of a completely new type of two-wheel-drive (2WD) EV (electric vehicle) with "Stretch & Shrink" functions in the vertical and horizontal directions that brings a very Yamaha joy of riding. In addition to the great drivability of the 2WD it is possible to adjust not only the riding position but also the silhouette of the chassis to fit the rider's body size, riding environment, road surface conditions and personal preference. This is Yamaha's proposal of a bike of the future that offers the kind of personal fit only possible with an electric vehicle.
	HV-01	This is a parallel hybrid scooter mounting an electric motor and gasoline engine. Despite the large body that gives a feeling of spacious comfort to the ride, this model has torque-y power development in the low rpm range that delivers the acceleration feeling of a bike one class above, as well as good fuel economy, environmental friendliness and performance that brings a real joy of riding. At the same time it has convenient functions that only hybrid bike offer, such as a "quiet mode" (running only on the electric motor) and a "push mode" that makes pushing the bike in places like parking lots (super low-power drive when off the bike)
	FC-me	Fuel cell systems using hydrogen gas as their fuel are most common but it is difficult to make a compact system of this type. The "Yamaha Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) System" uses a liquid methanol-water solution as its fuel, which eliminates the need for a converter and a pressurized (fuel) tank and thus makes it possible to create a lightweight system for a small vehicle requiring power in the 1 kW or less range without compromising on power output characteristics. Based on survey data gathered from licensed public-road use of our "FC06 PROTO," a prototype mounting the Yamaha DMFC system, the advanced fuel cell motorcycle model "FC-me" has now been created with improved performance in areas like reliability and running distance.
	MAXAM 3000	Developing on the base of the popular urban tandem cruiser "MAXAM," this is Yamaha's proposal for a new type of big cruiser with the design concept of a "weekend leisure cruiser." Building on the "MAXAM's "low & long" body design, this model boats a completely new "pick-up" styling that includes focus on important things like storage space in its under-seat compartment. In addition to the big added stretch of overhang front and rear, touches like abundant use of chrome parts and a genuine leather seat bring a sense of true quality such as never seen before in a big scooter. (The 3000 stands for the 3,000mm machine length)
	XT250X	This is a 250cc model proposing a "New Street Motard." It mounts a reliable air-cooled engine with excellent response on a sharp-looking body. With the same flasher lights as the YZF-R series supersport models and the same LED tail light as the YZF-R6, this model boasts a refined, sporty look. It is characterized overall by its light handling and stylish body.
	VOX	This model boasts the first fuel injection system ever on a Yamaha 50cc scooter. It fits into today's street fashion with its box-like body, flat sides and abundant trunk space. With a handle for effortless stand raising, the spacious feeling to the riding position, a body with clean lines and a good sense of size, its long wheel base and fat tires, this model has the look of spacious ease and a ride that is comfortable and enjoyable.
	CONCEPT MODEL
	Passol-L	This is a second generation model inheriting the "Light, Smart, Clean and Silent" concept of the "Passol" (50cc class) released by Yamaha in November of 2002 (limited regional release, followed by nationwide release in May 2003) as the first EV (electric vehicle) running solely on electric power. Mounting a motor with the same performance as the EC-02 released in May of 2005 and battery with boosted energy concentration, this new model features improved start-up/mid-speed range and hill-climbing power and increased running distance per charge (about 25 - 30 km/55 kg rider in normal around-town riding).
	YZF-R1SP	The 2006 model YZF-R1 was developed to take the existing model's already outstanding basic functions and add even more performance potential through maturation of the engine and chassis with the aim of "offering an even more exciting world of riding." The boosted max. power output and the optimized rigidity balance of the chassis substantially increase the performance and further refine its famed R1 handling. As a deluxe performance model, the "YZF-R1 SP" version boasts added performance potential for circuit riding with features including (1) a "slipper clutch" that contributes to smoother cornering performance, (2) Ohlins suspensions for more consistent, stable performance and (3) lightweight Marchesini forged aluminum wheels front and rear.
	YZF-R6	The new YZF-R6 has been developed under the concept of an "extreme supersport machine that is fastest on the circuit" and offers outstanding performance to cover everything from circuit riding winding roads, plus unique new styling. It boasts star-of-the-art technologies throughout, including a newly designed super high-revving engine, titanium intake/exhaust valves, electronic control throttle, fuel injection with twin injectors, a slipper clutch, midship muffler, a Suspension with 2-way compression/rebound damping adjustment function front and rear, and more.
