Yamaha Gen-Ryu hybrid in Tokyo

The Yamaha Gen-Ryu hybrid motorcycle has that Blade Runner look, the perfect bike to ride while chasing replicants, hybrids in their own right. I didn't notice when I first looked but the front wheel is mounted on a single side. The headlights, all 5 zillion of them, should melt most anything in their path. Is any part of this bike, other than the hybrid power train, conceivably a future design option? It's interesting.

i think this would be sweet, would love to buy one to these, but one thing…they need to emprove the turning radius, it looks like a wide turner
