The Yamaha 04GEN is the coolest scooter we’ve seen in a long time
Last week, Yamaha unveiled the new 04GEN concept scooter at the 2016 Vietnam Motorcycle Show, in Ho Chi Minh City. According to Yamaha, this concept scooter “evokes the image of women with an air of dignified elegance and grace in mind and body.’ Er, yeah, sure. We also think it looks good. Compared to regular scooters, where body panels hide the engine and chassis almost completely, the Yamaha 04GEN used semi-transparent panels which only partially cover the bike’s internals, showcasing its beautifully-engineered structure. We also like it’s plush brown leather seat and smartphone instrumentation. Yamaha have positioned design as a central pillar for all future product development and if they really do launch an actual production scooter based on the 04GEN, it’ll definitely give the Vespa 946 something to think about.
