Little puffs of blue smoke will be blowing out the tailpipe?

Or am I still stuck with 1970’s Yamaha imagery?

Yamaha can call them Kamakazi Karts.

They are probably just putting a 4 stroke snowmobile engine in these.
I have always thought that Yamaha was the best of the Japanese manufacturers vs. Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki.
They are incredibly reliable well engineered machines.

Worked for Suzuki, selling the little Samurais in third world nations.

I still have one of the first ones sold in the USA, after they had been popular for a few years in other countries. Still a reliable little town and offroad runabout after half a million miles, half of them pretty arduous. (did rebuild the engine about ten years ago, and replace the clutch a couple times.)

Everything Yamaha makes is the highest quality.

I expect that this will not be an exception. It’s probably safer than a motorcycle. I wouldn’t drive it if I had young children, but it looks like you could park it in your office.

I had a job as a Yamaha snowmobile mechanic in the 70’s that helped pay my way through college. Yamahas were the best to work on. I always hated when I had to work on an Artic Cat because they were built with an SAE frame and metric engine that was added to the frame as an after thought. I have owned (and still own) many different Yamaha motorcycles over the years. My daily driver during the warmer months is a 1982 Yamaha 750 Seca.

I have always wished Yamaha would build cars too.

It looks like two bucket seats and a windshield.

Yamaha is Japanese - SMART is German.

Yamaha vs. Mercedes Benz.

Both make superb cars.
