At this moment, more information pertaining to the bike is scarce, but we can intelligently assume - smooth swerving, superb handling and naturally, an eye-opening riding experience. According to Yamaha’s press release, the model is equipped with Leaning Multi-Wheeler (LMW) technology to minimize any discomforts of changing terrains. It is also able to achieve exceptional performance during cruising, as well as the ability to meander through winding roads.
