Shopping bigger scooters and stumbled across this @ Chicago Cycle. Sits real low and looks kinna cool. One owner claims he has hit 79mph so far and really likes it.    What ya'll think.? A Wisconsin dealer (on EBAY) is doin em for about $4400 out the door. |

not my cup of tea....or tastes in a scooter. what do you think? To each his own. I never aquired a taste for tea, zuma, or coffee. However, I find this 8' long low riding scooter to have some unique appeal.  Happy Ring Ding Ding Zumalover |

I still think they look like a squished Helix... There was a Helix a few scoots over and your right , the front ends are very similar. The morph is lower, and much longer. |

The Morph looks better in real life...those pics don't do it justice. I don't like big scoots but the Morph is the nicest of the pack....well except maybe Smackys Silverwing.

The Morph looks better in real life... I totally agree  Didn't look twice while surfing, but on the showroom floor it grabs your attention. Couldn't get a decent side shot but you really do need to see it in person to apreciate it's long n' low look. |

I sat on this at my local honda stealer's. I wasn't even stable standing still. I t was designed for someone with a 24" inseam or about 5'4". I could not put my feet on the ground where they belonged without bending my knees in an uncomfortable position. Don't like the ergonoics. The floorboard was even wider than my Silverwing, causing an even more uncomfortable/unstable foot plant..JMHO  |

Looks before Function Tedsmini  How did you sit on a Yamaha Morph at your Honda dealers? Anyways, yeah it does look really low but for the vast majority of the time when you're riding instead of stopped at a light it might be a cool riding position being that low...it could make for good handling. |

Maybe his Honda Dealer's like mine... the one in Statesville is a Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki dealer. But they only had Yamaha scooters... aside from the used Big Ruckus.

Kami got it in one. My local stealer has Yamaha, Honda, Sea Doo but Suzuki and Kawasaki is a separate agency.

 Here in south Miami, the powersports dealer, is a Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati and a bunch of waterscooters, the Harley is another dealer and it only shares it with the Buell, but they only have big sport motorcycles, and when you ask about little scooters they want to sell you a motorcycle , so in order to buy a scxooter you really have to stand your ground until they give in  On other note i love my Katrina so much i would not buy a big scooter, and she is fine with that

I got one demo ride on the Morph last spring and knew instantly that I wasn't going to be a contender on my BR in the Scooter Cannonball. I made a deal, bought it and sold the BR to a friend who will still ride it in the SCB'06. The engine is rev limited at 9000rpm and with my weight it transalates out to 80mph. After a few months on the Morph I consider it light years ahead of the BR. The engine is a miracle to behold. The power is amazing.
I'm still prepping for the SCB but so far I've added an extra tall windshield, Rebuilt the seat, Added a stainless luggage bar and spent way too much time soliciting sponsors.
I can't recommend the Morph highly enough to anyone who wants a fast twentyfirst century ride.

Thanks for the review. The Morph is my favorite Yammy. Any pics?
