If you like riding the motorbikes, and need an excuse to travel to the land of the rising sun, look no further than Yamaha's Tesseract motorcycle that will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show. It's not a car, and don't confuse it with an all-terrain vehicle; it's a hybrid that should put those other alternative cycles to shame.

The added kick isn't just the two additional wheels, but the V-Twin engine and electric motor as well as the mechanism that keeps the Tesseract upright when stopped or parked. Why is a mechanism needed? Wouldn't the four wheels be enough to keep it from tipping? Considering the Tesseract is about as wide as a standard motorcycle, I could see this thing taking a tumble when you least expect it. The Yamaha Tesseract is just a concept car for now, but if it's well received, expect it to go into production. — Stephen Schleicher
