The Y/AI is a unique superbike design by Yamaha in collaboration with Netflix as the two dream up the concept, forming something that looks like it is straight out of an anime. In this case, it truly is as it is made for the anime series Tokyo Override. The Y/AI is made to reflect the futuristic aesthetics of the world ruled by artificial intelligence.
The anime takes place 100 years ahead into the future and imagines a dystopic Tokyo where automation is the main ruler of urban living. The Y/AI bike has slightly clear wheels which glow in a blue light and the engine is hidden in a sleek bridge that connects the wheels to form a minimal look.
