The video, which you can watch in the gallery, gives us a glimpse of what looks like the Yamaha Tricity three wheeled scooter/motorcycle and the much awaited quarter liter class sports bike, officially called Yamaha YZF-R25/Yamaha YZF-R3.
Next week is then going to be the debut of both these products, with the Tricity likely being a Europe only product and the YZF-R25 a global one.
Yamaha YZF-R25
The Yamaha R25 concept showcased at the Auto Expo 2014 in Feb came without headlights, mirrors and sported an Akrapovic exhaust outlet. The concept model also wears special racing livery.

The production model will lose the Akrapovic exhaust and will also wear regular graphics. Otherwise the motorcycle should look very similar to concept model.
Yamaha YZF-R25 will be powered by a 250cc, liquid cooled twin-cylinder engine producing around 33 PS power; about the same as the Ninja 300.
Interestingly though, it is thought that Yamaha will also launch the YZF-R3 along with the YZF-R25. The YZF-R3 would have single cylinder 300cc and would be sold only in emerging markets such as South East Asia and India as it would cost less than the twin-cylinder 250cc unit.
Yamaha Tricity
Showcased at EICMA in Milan last year for the first time, the Tricity is a three wheeled scooter that belongs to the family of vehicles which turn by leaning.
The Tricity features two front wheels, each with twin independent suspensions and disc brakes on the inside of the wheels. Otherwise, the Tricity is a regular scooter and even has under seat storage.
Yamaha Tricity is powered by a 125cc liquid cooled 4 stroke engine and features automatic transmission. The scooter will mostly cater to European markets.
