Yamaha MOTOROiD2: Futuristic bike balances and parks itself

Brace yourselves for a spectacular reveal from Yamaha Motor as they rev up for the Japan Mobility Show 2023, taking place between October 28th and November 5th. As a prelude to this vehicular extravaganza, they’ve gifted us with a sneak peek at the upgraded edition of their 2017 MOTOROiD, the MOTOROiD2. This isn’t just a motorcycle; it’s an engineering marvel that’s ready to rock your two-wheeled world.

The Yamaha MOTOROiD2, a self-operating marvel that stands tall on its own, effortlessly balancing itself and parking like a pro. But that’s not all; this beast boasts boosted artificial intelligence that can recognize its owner from a distance and prepare itself for a thrilling ride.

Imagine the MOTOROiD2 gracefully unfolding its kickstands when you summon it to park, and then, with a touch of elegance, it retracts them as you get ready to hit the open road. The kicker? It’s rumored to have a cutting-edge feature that keeps pace with the rider. While Yamaha hasn’t spilled the beans on this one just yet, it’s bound to be revolutionary. Perhaps riders won’t need to lean into turns anymore; the MOTOROiD2 might just do it for them, responding to the subtlest shifts in their body language.

But it’s not just about looks; the Yamaha MOTOROiD2 concept is a futuristic masterpiece. Its design resembles a butterfly about to take flight in a cityscape that could be utopian or dystopian, depending on your perspective. Alien-like, it perches on the motorcycle with an amorphous yet captivating form, adorned with striking copper accents against its steel and white color scheme. This beauty gleams and shines, ready to steal the spotlight. Those tires are built tough – puncture-resistant and capable of twisting sideways for nimble turns.

Here’s the kicker: Yamaha is set to introduce an automatic opening system for the front, a wing-like part that unfurls to reveal, possibly, extra storage space. The MOTOROiD2 will incorporate a refined version of the Active Mass Center Control System (AMCES) for impeccable balance and attitude sensing. As if that’s not enough, it’s also armed with an image recognition AI system that recognizes the owner’s face and gestures, ensuring a personalized experience like no other.

And the pièce de résistance? The full grand unveiling of the Yamaha MOTOROiD2 motorcycle concept will unfold at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 in Tokyo, where it will share the stage with five other dazzling new vehicle models from the Yamaha stable. Stay tuned for a mind-blowing experience that’s bound to set the automotive world on fire!
