Based on the MT Series’ “Torquey & Agile“ concept, the new MT-09 was developed with an emphasis on “feel,” weight reduction, and higher power, and to be a model usable across a wide range of scenarios, from commuting to weekend rides. The styling strips the bike down to the bare essentials and seeks stand out by highlighting the functional beauty of the parts themselves. The MT-09 is packed with new features and innovative technology, including a newly designed 889cc CP3 3-cylinder engine, lightweight chassis, SpinForged aluminum wheels, and YZF-R1-derived onboard electronics.

This three-wheeled 300cc commuter model for global markets employs Yamaha’s proprietary LMW design and was developed to be the “Smartest Way to Commute” under a design concept of “Your Right-Hand” (for supporting your work/business), featuring front-end confidence, reliability, maneuverability and a high-quality ride to make trips between the suburbs and downtown more convenient and comfortable.


Robotics

LCMR200
LCMR200

The LCMR200 employs a linear motor for fast, precise movement and a space-saving modular construction for conducting transfer operations at factories. As product lifecycles shorten, the need for multi-product and variable-volume production is growing and the LCMR200 brings greater flexibility for line layout, quicker response to production changes, and easy storage and reusability.
Also, instead of flashy colours, the anodized aluminium body beautifully blends in with and complements peripheral factory equipment.

MOTOROiD
MOTOROiD

The MOTOROiD concept model aims to demonstrate personal mobility in which the rider resonates harmoniously with the machine. Equipped with high-precision balance control via artificial intelligence and autonomous technology, the MOTOROiD can sense its own state and adjust its center of gravity accordingly to stand up off its kickstand and remain upright unassisted. It can also recognize its owner and move forward to meet him/her, as well as react based on its rider's actions thanks to its human-machine interface (HMI). These, among several other functions, allow MOTOROiD to behave like a true partner of its owner. MOTOROiD inspires a vision of future mobility that takes vehicles beyond simple “tools for movement.”


Outboard Engine

F425A
F425A

Pumping out 425 horsepower, the F425A is the most powerful model in Yamaha’s 4-stroke outboard lineup. We sought a design that would maximize the advantages of that power, focusing on the smallest details for everything from the top cowl to the propeller. Also, as an exterior design “accent” for the boat it’s mounted on, we aimed to create an elegant yet dynamic styling worthy of the ultimate outboard and Yamaha’s flagship model.
