Yamaha has gotten on board with this amazing new age device called “the iPhone”. You may have heard about this crazy thing that kids are using, and perhaps even seen a segment about it on 60 Minutes. Helping fuel the addiction, Yamaha’s application (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=337268487&mt=8) brings riding a Yamaha street bike or dirt bike into the palm of your hand…we think.*Our Japanese is admittedly not so good…as in, no one here at the A&R office speaks it.
Despite this setback, we’re fairly certain the idea behind this iPhone application from Yamaha has to do with reving a make believe motorcycle with one’s closed hand, and pretending that an YZF-R1 or YZ450F is blowing your hair back, all while wearing a black Alpinestars glove. If that’s still not clear, check out this video after the jump for a demonstration of how to use the iPhone application from various angles and riding modes. You can download the application and try it your self here (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=337268487&mt=8).
