Went to view this today! Made me fall back in love with my super 8. Yamaha Morphus,,,not for me. It  felt very balanced and good low center of gravity. It actually had a parking brake. $2500 not bad if you are in the market for one.

Agreed... That looks like the CEO's nephew might have dreamed up. I don't think it was ready for market.

Have you ever noticed that woman/man at the mall dressed so outrageously they can be spotted on google earth?  I believe that is the target market for that bike. Maybe they sold 6 of them.

Only a mother could love the looks of this thing!
However, it would make a great donor to build a high MPG scoot' using a very low drag body.  This is because it starts as a low frontal area scoot', like the Honda Helix.  Corbin turned a Helix into a high MPG scoot' by adding an aero body, for test only.
