Yamaha 04Gen Concept Scooter Unveiled in Vietnam

Yamaha has unveiled the 04Gen scooter concept at the first Vietnam motorcycle show, currently underway from April 7-10 in Ho Chi Minh City. And it's a striking concept, with what could be called 'wings' like that of an insect.

The design concept is based on Yamaha's "RUN" philosophy, which stands for "Revolutionary, Unique, Noble". As the name implies, the 04Gen concept is the fourth creation from Yamaha, and uses translucent materials as a design aesthetic.

From the pictures, it seems most of the 04Gen's bodywork is made of the same translucent plastic that makes up the wings.

The wings fold down and cover the side panels of the scooter while the seat and handlebar grips seem to be made of leather. It certainly is a work of art - the 04Gen Concept, but there's been no word of the concept will ever make it to the market. We certainly hope that this concept attains production form soon.
