it's the next logical step, Yamaha say more leaning multi wheelers are on the way and they have a 4 wheeled test version soooo , maybe , now that would be something else...

It feels me less sporting, I mean a bike has two wheels and a car 4

cars have adaptive suspension, versus your weight on this thing / a quad

Wow...Yamaha just realised what Morgan knew back in 1920's

(And if you've ever seen a genuine race-prepped Aero go ***** out on a race track you'd understand).

The French like the smaller moped-variants of these, often seen dicing with death in rush hour motorway traffic 'filtering' at 60mph when the rest of the traffic is doing 20mph... they rarely expect to be cut-off by a Brit in a right hand drive changing lane.

Must admit I'm with everyone else on this. Not what I'd call sleek

Anyway, why is a Stormtrooper riding it!
