2008 Yamaha Morphous Scooter reviews

The more my wife and I ride it the better it gets. For a 250cc sized bike it is pretty peppy. I've had it up to 81mph and can cruise ALL day at 65mph with me on it. Also I often get 65 mpg. The best was 71 mpg. When going fast, it really doesn't vibrate like my V-Twin motorcycles. With the long wheelbase and low height - this bike is very stable. Show less

I BOUGHT MY 2007 MORPHOUS BRAND NEW IN 2008 AND HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THE LOOKS, STARES AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT you're RIDING IS GREAT. NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE IT BEFORE AND KIND OF WEIRD TO HAVE A ONE OF A KIND IN THIS AREA. IF YOU WANT A 250CC BUY A MORPHOUS, YOU'LL NEVER LOOK BACK. Show less

OK, here's the deal. If you are planning on getting a 250cc scooter then look everywhere you can for a new or used Morphous. This scoot is just head and shoulders above all the rest. It is quiet, handles great, corners with the best of them, is smooooth as glass and the most comfortable bike I've ever personally ridden or owned and that's been many. It's long wheelbase makes for a wide turning circle and is heavier than any other 250 that I know of but that's part of what gives it such a great ride and also you don't blow around on the highway. I've had my scoot up to 82 MPH with more throttle to go but I chickened out at that point. It moves quickly from a traffic light and for me has all the 'grunt' I'd ever need. Because it has such an original design be prepared to get stared at frequently and asked lots of questions. Such a shame Yamaha never properly tried to sell or advertise them here. If more people had known about them they'd still be bringing them into the USA. Show less

It keeps up with traffic, rides well in rain and is heavy enough that wind gusts don't blow you all over the road. It has precise fits on compartments and trim. It has four compartments (including glove compartment and trunk with two more under seat) and rides like a dream. I am proud to be an owner. P.S. It gets lots of looks and compliments. Show less

This is super smooth, fast and turns heads. It is also easy to park. I got it to 80 mph. It handles well in the rain. I went to bike week in Daytona and all the other riders wanted to know what that thing that passed them by was! Show less

I was given an early Christmas present today. My wife bought me a 2008 Morphous two days ago and had the keys handed to me today. I have been riding this afternoon. It is smooth as silk. It has great pick-up and it gets a lot of looks. The '08 color is dark violet and just beautiful. Motorcycles and scooters are big in the Houston area, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get my hands on one, thinking I'd have to wait till the spring to buy it. The scooter is everything POSITIVE I have ever read or heard about. Show less
