Why not?
Anyone who thinks that Yamaha has now devoted itself entirely to the retro wave is completely wrong. Of course, the future is also being built on the side.

A show bike like this is something very fine. It shows how innovative and progressive a company is, guarantees a high level of attention, but does not oblige you to anything. The aaahh effect was great when not only the two beautifully made XJR 1300 and the next MT-07 variant fell during INTERMOT, but also from the 01GEN afterwards.

Why is? It’s about a tricycle, that’s in vogue right now, but one step outside of the usual scooter mainstream. 01GEN is a different caliber. More dynamic, motorcycle-like – despite the three wheels. A double GS beak stands prominently above the two front wheels, which are guided by four fork legs, while the typical Yamaha design language dictates the front view above the mudguards.
An all-terrain vehicle?
Little can be seen of the drive itself – except that the cylinder bank (or is it a single cylinder?) As in Yamaha is usually tilted far forward. One of the few officials who could be heard about the tricycle at the Yamaha trade fair in Cologne was the statement that this is supposed to be an all-terrain vehicle. This is supported by the long suspension travel, while a belt drive makes little sense for driving off the asphalt due to its susceptibility to stones and dirt particles.
However. The exoticism and styling of the 01GEN won’t go out of your head anytime soon. And when you think about the fact that tricycle scooters are already part of the everyday street scene, you ask yourself for the future: why not?
