The idea is simple and, therefore, creative. If the problem was the weight and cost of each individual laser lamp, Yamaha imagined and patented a system in which a single laser is installed in the center of the motorcycle, in a central area, near the motorcycle’s center of gravity; from here, several optical connections will bring lighting to each individual user, front lights, rear lights, indicators, instrument panel. Everything that needs lighting, whether for service or to illuminate the road, can count on an extremely effective and efficient “light generator.”
Although it is likely that future lighting systems will use a mixed system of LED and lasers to take advantage of the short-range effectiveness of the former and the incredible depth of action of the latter, the benefits are not limited to the actual increase in system efficiency. In fact, there seems to be a real possibility of limiting the total weight of the motorcycle, especially in areas far from the center of gravity, with benefits in terms of driving and overall performance.
