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.
