Not even free.
Butt ugly...
Lol...
Looks like a grown up version of The Piaggio
Here's another 3 wheeler I saw last Sunday..It's a kit car built on a Goldwing 1500 frame/engine.
That Yamaha is not the most attractive bike I've seen.
Plenty of Reverse Trikes here - reversetrike.com. Oddly, it has a picture of the Polaris Slingshot labeled as a kit, but given how many mods some of us do, maybe that is accurate.
I think Yamaha was trying to keep the feeling of riding a bike with three wheels. Looks like you lean almost like a normal bike. Unlike the others out there.
I interesting engineering.

Not even if they pay me.
Admittedly, Yamaha kept the the 2-wheel design, but, in my opinion, the gap between the 2 front wheels and the use of full-size motorcycle wheels so far apart kills the looks of the bike because of that enormous gap. I'm guessing that the higher CoG of a typical motorcycle with a relatively vertical engine required a wider front wheel track. I think the Piaggio MP3's style success was in keeping the front wheels relatively close together and integrated into the overall design.

I'm the only one, but I kind of like it. It's more of the motorcycle feel and positioning than the Spider, but with a bit more balance. It's definitely a niche market, and I'm not sure it'll sell, but I think it's pretty neat.
Lol...
Anyone else think that top pic kinda looks like the original Predator?

Yeah, I think that big opening between the front wheels does kinda remind me of the Predator's open mouth!

Well, the headlights look like his eyes, and the shocks coming down at that angle look like his dreadlocks.
