Yamaha Morphus

Post by stollie »

Just been on internet looking at the Yamaha Morphus and think they look cool. Anybody on the forum own one? They look very long and remind me of the cadiliac of scooters.

There are lots of interesting japanese scooters that we don't get in the UK and some old threads about them on here.

But there is only one Cadillac of scooters :)

Spelt Yamaha Morphous, bet it handles like a boat though, could be fun on a breezy day.

It would certainly turn a few heads. Looks like a 60s Cadillac on two wheels.

All you need is a few flashing lights and a fake radar dish, and it'll be a complete road going UFO!!!

Or a Suzuki Gemma. Japan is a crazy market.

I've always liked the Gemma 250, I thought about importing one but owning wired/rare vehicles in the past has been a constant battle for spares etc

I also like that the Japanese custom scene doesn't concentrate on hugely overpowered monsters the way it tends to here and in the US.

How about manga replicas like "Red Mole" inspired by Kaneda's bike from Akira
