Someone at Yamaha has well and truly pulled on the spandex tights and mask for this baby, the Gen Ryu. This futuristic prowler certainly looks like it just crashed out of your movie screen but it’s actually real and bike lovers at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show this month will get the chance to get all touchy-feely. It’s one of nine bikes, comprising road bikes, eco-bikes and prototypes that Yamaha will be showing off. What’s really special about this one though is that it combines a 600cc engine with a “high-output, high efficiency electric motor” to produce the performance of a 1,000cc bike. And then there’s all that whizz-bang technology built-in: vehicle distance warning sensors, a light system for that adapts for cornering at night, a noise-cancelling system, music player, hands-free mobile phone, voice navigation, rear view monitoring via in-built CCD camera and LCD display. ENOUGH! Where the hell is my super-suit and passport?
