The storage space is adequate for a full face helmet. The lights are LED front and rear.

This plan was revealed at a business briefing earlier this week in Tokyo. The new bike is named LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) as there are two wheels at the front.
The bike will be introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show (it could also be the Eicma Motor Show) in November.
Thus Yamaha seems to abandon the futuristic Tesseract which was presented at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show although it never made it to the showrooms.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary in the Japanese market, the … eternal SR 400 will also be presented at the Eicma Motor Show. The bike will be customized by Wrenchmonkees and ÊEDO, some previous examples of their work are shown above. Ôhe SR 400 could be imported once more to Europe, although based on the prices in Japan, it is not expected to be quite cheap.
Additionally a recreational 4WD small off-road vehicle called the Viking is being launched in 2013. These two products are part of Yamaha¢s mid-term plan (2013-2015).
Yamaha will develop the bikes globally instead of focusing on specific markets. The fuel economy will be a key factor for Yamaha in the future.
