The fact that Yamaha has been on a custom build spree in the year the house celebrates the 60th anniversary is old news. However, seeing Iwata coming up with a cool and great-looking piece of software that integrates all the efforts of those who worked to deliver the custom bikes and the accessory line-ups is something newsworthy.
Yamaha My Garage is a freeware app that offers customers the possibility to choose their favorite bike from the Sport Heritage series and then see how each and every aftermarket part and accessory looks on it.
The motorcycles and the aftermarket add-ons are displayed in 3D, making the entire experience more immersing and realistic, providing a much better representation of how the bikes' attire chances with different options in place.
Eight bikes to play with, share and order directly from My Garage app
No less than eight motorcycles are included in My Garage: the XV950, XV950 Racer, XV950R, the XJR1300 base version and the XJR1300 Racer, the XSR700, as well as the VMAX and VMAX Carbon.
Customization options include slip-on silencers and full exhaust systems, seats, handlebars, saddlebags, and many more. Users can see the prepped bikes from any angle, take pictures and enhance them using built-in filters, then share them online.
All the customized bikes are stored in the garage and are accessible at any time. And when you're ready to pull the trigger on a certain model, you can always select it and send it to your nearest Yamaha dealer, letting the guys know what are you looking for in your bike, and thus take the first step towards owning it.
As mentioned, the Yamaha My Garage app is free and is compatible with both Apple and Android phones and tablets.
