The most noteworthy stock in this Yamaha booth is the concept model "Sports Ride Concept" located in the center of the stage. It is a sports car with a form that can be said to be an orthodox part of a sports car and a model that incorporates elements that make Yamaha feel like.


It is a form with a short front and rear as viewed from the side. It is said that the body size reflects the concept that Yamaha Yanagi, president Yamato Yanagi said, "The relationship between a driver and a machine is like a motorcycle" with a compact size of 3900 mm in total length × 1720 mm in full width × 1,170 mm in overall height. Weight is 750 kg and announced.


Tail part of molding with volume sense. Although two mufflers are put out at the top of the center, this may be the design unique to the concept model. It is announced that the installed engine is a 1.0 liter 3 cylinder engine.


In a sense Yamaha's shape is the shape of this disk rotor. It has a rotor with a corrugated circumference part that is often seen in motorcycles.


Leather is given to the interior, but the basic layout is the pure sports car itself. A somewhat higher side sill and a flat floor panel without a center tunnel, the features make it feel the same as Lotus Elysee. Since a shift lever is not found, it seems that a transmission like a semi AT is supposed.


Because the side sill is set thick, the thickness of the door is also considerable. The inner lining of the door has become large molded molded.


As I looked into it, it seems that the pedal has become a specification of 2 pedals with only an accelerator and a brake. The height of the pedal and the seat are almost the same, as if it is a driving position like a racing car.


Interior that carbon and leather are heavily used. Anyway, the area around tailoring the orthodox design which can be said as "the royal road of recent years" will tickle the car loving heart.


The skeleton of this car is a frame combining a pipe frame and a carbon fiber panel that are designed based on the concept called "iStream".


In this way, the idea of ​​combining light weight and high rigidity by joining a thick frame and a composite material by adhesion.


IStream is a frame philosophy advocated by "Gordon Murray Design", led by Gordon Murray, also known as the legendary F1 machine designer, whose origin also leads to F1 machines.


The collaboration between Mr. Gordon Murray and Yamaha has also been realized with the two-seater passenger car "MOTIV" announced at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, and this time the vehicle was developed further.


Characteristic facial expressions, interior appearance etc.




This model is "design concept" to the last, it seems that various specifications and design will be advanced from now. In this way, Yamaha clearly stated the attitude of entering the four-wheel industry, and the possibility of commercial vehicles appearing at some timing in the future is likely to be rich.


By the way, "MOTIV" is currently promoting a running experiment aimed at commercialization. At the 2013 motor show, it is MOTIV which was said to be "commercially available in 2015", but it seems that development is continuing.

Yamaha's two-seater passenger car "MOTIV" is an ambitious car jointly developed by former F1 designers - GIGAZINE


In addition, at the Yamaha booth, the concept model of the electric motorcycle "PES 2And ...




Off-road type "PED 2"Is displayed.




Also exhibited are the road bike "YPJ-R" with electric assist function and the mountain bike "YPJ-MTB Concept" which Yamaha which is the male of the electric bicycle finally appears. "YPJ-R" is a model to be marketed in December 2015.


YPJ-R is a motorcycle that assists the pedaling with a brushless DC motor (240 W) built in a pedal-integrated electric unit, mounting the battery in the frame's down tube (the lower part of the triangle). It is said that it is being tuned to demonstrate powerful acceleration / acceleration / hill climbing ability, and the assist function is to be cut at the time when it reaches 24 km / h, but the timing of that switching can not be felt at all It seems that a natural feeling is realized as much.


Battery has lithium ion type. Depending on usage, it is possible to ride several tens of kilometers with one charge. The battery decreases when repeating acceleration / deceleration, but if you ride like cruising at 24 km / h or more, the assistance of the motor is cut, so it is possible to ride with almost no battery consumption.


Component related (Shift related) adopt Shimano · 105 series which can be said to be a classic road bike. The weight of the car is 15.4 kg. There seems to be some people who frown brows in so-called Gachi's road bike ride, but this bike is a form of road bike, but the concept is completely different thing. It seems that it is aimed for the enjoyment and enjoyment of the bicycle life, such as beginners, female riders, and bike re-debuters.


The YPJ-MTB Concept is equipped with a 400 Wh large capacity battery, equipped with a multifunctional meter on the handle portion.


In the frame of the design feels like Yamaha's richness, a battery larger than the load type YPJ-R was installed.


The electric unit is also equipped with a crank integrated type.


Component relation seems to be summarized by Shimano · DEORE XT and FSA crank.



Brake front and rear are equipped with hydraulic disc brake.


And this Yamaha 's pure sports model' YZF - R1 M 'straddles the humanoid autonomous riding robot'MOTOBOT". It is possible for MOTOBOT to run by himself without modifying the motorcycle itself, and development is being pursued with the aim of realizing a circuit running over 200 km / h.


The lowered form is the same as a human.


The control unit is gussily packed in the body part.


It looks like an actual human being on board. It seems to be a robot that autonomously carries on accelerator, brake, weight shift.



On the front of the Yamaha booth, actual machines where Valentino Rossi fought Moto GP are also on display.


In addition to being exhibited, Rossi can straddle the machine that fought GP, so it seems to be said that bike lover is a necessary ant to visit.


In one corner of the booth, Yamaha sells it in North America "YXZ 1000 R"Is displayed. This vehicle is a genre ride called ROV (Recreational / Off-Highway / Vehicle), among which the YXZ 1000 R is a pure sports model in ROV that brings the YXZ 1000 R to a widespread wilderness and enjoying sports driving with full opening of the accelerator. It seems to be a machine that has significantly improved sports performance than "VYKING" which was exhibited last year.


The front suspension penetrates the cowl. From the driver's point of view, I can feel "one handedness perfectly" by watching the suspension moving in small increments in accordance with the movement of the car while driving.


Around the cockpit is designed with the same methodology as a very common car.


The pedal is an ABC layout that the accelerator, brake, and clutch follow.


The shift is a sequential type that changes gears by pushing and pulling the lever, and it is set to 1 / previous 5 steps before lined with "R · 1 · N · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5" from the back. The switch in front of it is a 4-wheel / 2-wheel drive changeover switch and a light-related switch.


Around the handle and the meter is like this.


The engine is equipped with a newly developed water-cooled 3 cylinder 998 cc engine, and the maximum speed reaches lightly to 100 km / h even at off-road. It is said that it is not introduced in Japan because there are few chances to ride in Japan, but if you have the opportunity it's a model you would like to ride once.


Besides this, at the Yamaha booth, there were many models related to two wheels, so it was a booth that you can enjoy with both 4 wheel and 2 wheel fans.
