Please give us a Yamaha R7-R8 with either the triple or a 4 cross....R7 would be better for insurance over here.
Would not be disappointed if it looked somewhat like the OW-2....
Maybe take up a battle with sucki in the 750 segment....
Also the day 675...

I the 'kinky' pipes reminiscent of a late '70s 400/4

.

I can't much see the point of a Trx650 other than it 'fitting' the minitwin race category nicely

.

I think I'd much rather have a smooth, torquey , injected 270 degree 900 - 950cc Trx in a lightweight chassis with characteristics and styling for today. Top notch suspension not required (got to leave something to tinker with and upgrade over time),leaving the cost relatively low initially.

Mark.

Perhaps a common bottom end and lightweight, middleweight and a thou would be nice

Just replicate the one one we've got with a tad more giddyup.

Ummm.... it's hardly new is it? Whatever the capacity is it's still basically a tweaked/revised TRX motor.

Happy enuff with my 'old girl' ta!

I'm happy with my old dog too, no need to teach her any more tricks, just have to do the tricks we do faster so motor & suspension tweaks take care of that.

this all can be done for half the price of a new machine and you don't just have a off the showroom bike like any joe blow close to 100hp and over 80ft/lb .. I'll stick with my dark horse from MY FACE RACING.

That's it isn't it? Yam are missing a huge market there, not only for the mini/supertwin racers but people new to bikes in general.

Doesn't look like the TRX' engine: wet sump instead of dry sump.
And I doubt that they'll have 5 valves per cylinder.

interestingly it looks like it might have a uni-cam arrangement like the Honda VFR1200

Looking at the head I can only see space for a single camshaft

Both of those are good things, surely? It'll make checking the level easier for the uninitiated and the whole five valves thing didn't work anyway, Yam have gone back to four valve heads.

I don't mind the number of valves or the wet sump.
My point was that I disagree with the statement that the new engine is basically a revised TRX motor.

I personally don`t give much of a fook about new bikes as I will NEVER buy new, total rip-off as far as I`m concerned.

I meant the principle of the 270 degree 'now called crossplane' crank not every component thereafter

Just saying it's nothing to wet yer pants over that's all
