Rider aid systems have come a long way in the last decade. From sophisticated multi-level traction control to lean-sensitive ABS, the industry only refines its safety measures with each passing year. Manufacturers such as Honda even have zero collision fatality goals in place to motivate further rider aid development. Big Red isn’t the only brand prioritizing safety initiatives, though.
Yamaha has long-used automated systems and robots to help develop its new technology. Whether it’s the Motobot from 2015 or 2017’s 2.0 version, the bLU cRU has spared no cost in the name of safety. The OEM’s latest whizbang device takes a more practical route, however. Christened the Advanced Motorcycle Stability Assist System (AMSAS), the self-stabilizing system aims to reduce low-speed tip-overs.
