Yamaha unveils a concept hybrid motorcycle

Yay for the concept. Boo, obviously for the execution. This thing looks bigger than my NX, and I shan’t be using it to split lanes down Sutter street during rush hour.

I’m not a danger freak or speed junkie for the most part. I ride a motorcycle because its fantastically practical. Especially in San Francisco, where you can’t park, except for the main “thoroughfares” which might as well be parking lots.

A motorcycle allows me to move through traffic a lot faster than even the smallest car, and when I arrive at my destination I can generally park about 10 feet from the entrance.

Cool pic though. Now make it 1/4 the size and I’m on it.
