Back to the mid 2000's when concepts were as crazy as today's youngsters imagination. One such creation from Yamaha was MT-03 Café Motard Concept. Even the recently MT-03/M Slaz(MT-15) gets its design cues from this very concept. Again this is a concept based on "Sound and Emotions".
Because of Yamaha, sport riding in the city truly is achievable, all things considered. Positively outrageous in its outline - with its unequivocal lines and the claimed "z" state of the side boards extending towards the ground - it just flaunts its capable motor coupling with a impressive exhaust that tries just apathetically to cover up away under the thin tail segment. Its smaller, hunching shape makes it look ready to shoot off at any minute over the black-top with the kind of nimbleness and verve you would anticipate from a pure blood City Racer.
Michael Uhlarik from GK Design Europe, explains:
Surprising use of materials
Michael Uhlarik continues:
Art of Engineering
To accomplish the objective of compelling agility, the single cylinder "Powerpack" is the most reasonable motor. It is extremely compact and offers a quick throttle reaction all through the rpm extent, and it has an extremely solid character and sound. Oliver of Yamaha had said: "We called it the super-torque single".
And obviously the energy for cruisers is not just in riding, it is additionally in the development and outline of the bike as an excellent machine in itself. Solid mechanical expressions, carefully assembled parts: the model is a bit of craftsmanship, 'the art of building'.
This is a bike for genuine riders, intended to tackle the test of the most convoluted streets its hi-tech, moderate look highlighting the bike's mechanical excellence. For those looking for on-street energy, the "Art of Engineering" has concocted yet another masterstroke. Appreciate the ride.

Michael Uhlarik from GK Design Europe, explains: We pushed very hard to get an extremely "Condensed Mass" design. The impact of the silhouette is possible because of the hardcore off-road riding position, WR style; with a very short fuel tank which is fused with a compact, sophisticated roadster design and a minimal tail.
Surprising use of materials
Michael Uhlarik continues: An example of that is the headlight design which features LED discharge lights instead of the traditional round parabolic headlight. And on many parts of the bike we are using materials in a surprising and new way, to add more to the tactile pleasure of this motorcycle. Like for example with the clear instrument panel with aluminium inserts; or the aluminium sliders on the plastic fuel tank.
Design manager Nobuaki Kuwata adds: "We always strive for new solutions and emotional designs."
