                  The 2006 Yamaha Morphous with its 249cc 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve, 
                  liquid-cooled engine produces a broad powerband that can turn 
                  a 0-55 in around 5 seconds with a top speed of around 65 to 
                  70mph. At 408 lbs (185 kg) it has just enough weight along with 
                  a length of 93.3" a width of 32.5" and a height of 
                  41.3" to give a smooth and steady ride. 
                   
                  If you're looking for economy in these times of high fuel prices, 
                  it has a 3.7gal tank that will get you around 60 to 70 mpg. 
                  You can't go wrong. The sleek body style and aerodynamics give 
                  it a "cutting" edge as you cruise either through town or motor 
                  it down the highway. If you are a novice rider, the Yamaha Morphous 
                  will give you the pleasure and experience of riding on the open 
                  road, and while the more veteran riders would find it to be 
                  perhaps a little slower than what they may be use to, they would 
                  find it to be a fun and inexpensive way for commuting to and 
                  from work, or play.

                  The Yamaha Morphus brings a whole new level to the scooter market. 
                  The Morphus is sleek, refined, and handles like a dream. Nice 
                  amount of storage, but it wont take a full face helmet. Doesn't 
                  look like a traditional scooter, and people stop and ask all 
                  the time.  
                   
                  Well worth considering, if you are in the market for a larger 
                  scooter.  |
