Yamaha MT-03 Spider Smart City Concept

.  

It may have just come to light, but the original single-cylinder of the MT family has already formed the basis for two futuristic concept bikes, designed to capture the imagination and unleash a profoundly emotional response. One is the sporty, aggressive “Cafè Motard”, while the other is the stylish, breathtaking “Spider Smart City”. The common denominator is the character of the 660cc engine.

Cafè Motard
Thanks to Yamaha, sport riding in the city really is possible, after all. Positively aggressive in its design - with its decisive lines and the pronounced 'z' shape of the side panels stretching out towards the ground - it proudly shows off its powerful engine coupling with an imposing exhaust that tries only half-heartedly to hide away under the slender tail section. Its compact, crouching shape makes it look poised to shoot off at any moment across the asphalt with the sort of agility and verve you would expect from a thoroughbred City Racer.

This is a bike for serious riders, designed to take on the challenge of the most tortuous roads - its hi-tech, minimalist look helping to highlight the bike's mechanical beauty. For those in search of on-road excitement, the "Art of Engineering" has come up with yet another masterstroke. Enjoy the ride.

Spider Smart City
A youthful, sophisticated take on the MT-03 that transmits positive energy from the get-go. And yet, for Yamaha, elegance is never an end in itself. The innovative tinted windshield can be adjusted in two positions, allowing the rider to adapt the aerodynamic protection offered by the bike in response to different riding conditions.

Moreover, the rigid bag attached to the frame is both practical and modern in its design. The new “Spider Smart City” is an expression of a new concept of sport biking - a concept that takes full account of both functionality and fashion. A metropolitan incarnation of the spirit of the MT, this is a refined exercise in style with the added value of a ride that's never anything less than engaging.
