Hmmm, interesting theory and I respect your opinions. But no, it's wrong, ugly and unnecessary and personally, I'm embarrassed that there's even the slightest connection with the MT09.No matter if we love 2 wheels we have to admit that is a honour for 09 triple engine to be used on a concept.
iI feel that Yamaha trying with this effort (MWT-09) to make the fastest triple-scooter and smash the European, Koean and Japanese competition.
Personally i don't like scooters and multi-wheelers allthough i accept the fact that back in 2013 was the FZ/MT-09, last year was the Tracer version and for 2016 a multi-wheeler is born after the marriage of -09's swing arm, engine,foot rests, brakes even the stock zorst and the front of a Tricity..
I admire Yamaha's low cost effort to produce a low cost concept with low price etc. etc. etc...

Aah yes. PU55YS, I believe they are known as....There is a large market segment that doesn't feel comfortable with 2 wheels. But would like the experience of riding something other than a car
+1There is a large market segment that doesn't feel comfortable with 2 wheels. But would like the experience of riding something other than a car. I don't think this offering from Yamaha is targeted at the purest. But the middle age crowd that have never ridden before, but would like to except for fear. From a business stand point, they see the success Can-am had with the spider, and want some of that market for themselves. The Can-am is horizontally planted, with zero lean. I think this is a smart idea from Yamaha. To split the experience between a real motorcycle and a tricycle. My .02
Think it looks utterly horrendous. Having said that I like to think I'm open minded and (like homosexuality) if someone likes it, well good for them. Just as long as it's not compulsory.
