Yamaha’s concept scooter revealed – and it’s ‘Glorious’

Yamaha has shown this funky modern/retro scooter at the Ajang Vietnam Motor Show.

The Yamaha Glorious 155 Concept – what a name! – might ‘just’ a concept at the moment but, to be honest, it’s a pretty standard chassis, engine etc under the swish bodywork so this scooter would be pretty straightforward to take from concept to reality.

A lot of the styling has been undertaken by the team that usually looks after dash and instrument design for Yamaha and the bike looks very simple in overall look. For the ‘Glorious’ Yamaha said that the idea that you could ride this bike and interact with it as you would a musical instrument is what gave rise to the three ‘strings’ that light up in different LED colours at the front and the back of the bike.

Looks quite snazzy…
