I like Yamahas. That bike could get as high as 188 mpg! 8O

I'd trade the cbr125 for one of those, if the prices were comparable

I found some photos I could post.



The Moegi has belt drive.





That's a nice little engine.

It's beautiful! I would park that in my living room in the winter, it's a work of retro art! 8)

It does look more like a piece of art.

The belt on that looks super long. But I agree, looks like art. Would be fun to try out, I wonder if Yamaha is going to produce it.

Quite interesting, indeed. I'm glad to see that it is a four stroke (so that production could actually take place), because the exhaust fooled me into thinking it had an expansion chamber. It reminds me of the YA-1.
