Yamaha Morphus
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.

Re: Yamaha Morphus
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.

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

Re: Yamaha Morphus

All you need is a few flashing lights and a fake radar dish, and it'll be a complete road going UFO!!!stollie wrote:Thats what i thought when i first saw one Burgman1958 and yes i wonder what they are like to handle in the wind. Certainly make road presence don't they.

Re: Yamaha Morphus
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
