Yamaha Motor Co has showcased its 04GEN scooter design concept model at the Vietnam Motorcycle Show 2016, which was held in Ho Chi Minh City from April 7-10. The show was the first two-wheeler expo held in Vietnam.

The 04GEN’s design is based on Yamaha’s RUN-WAY concept, which is aimed at women buyers who seek an image of dignified elegance and grace. Compared to regular scooter body structures – which hide the frame with exterior parts – the 04GEN only covers the frame with semi-transparent exterior parts. The concept aims to make a contrast between the old and the new by using authentic real leather and innovative semi-transparent resin.

This is the fifth GEN design concept in Yamaha’s series. The 01GEN in 2014 was a crossover motorcycle with two wheels at the front; the 02GEN was an alluring electrically power-assisted wheelchair, also in 2014, and in 2015 the 03GEN, mobility enhanced by optional colours, materials. The next was the TRICITY. The 04GEN takes off from there.
