Yamaha plan new crossplane twin

[Mincehead]

Naaa, very few new bikes break any boundaries, most has been done before, sometimes a long time ago too.
Today with better mettalurgy, materials and machining techniques reliability can pretty much be assured.

You know I agree with the disagree but disagree with my agree.. I hope you can all agree on that one..

[Con Rod]

the big news about this engine is potentially not the 270 crank, rather its what looks like a unicam arrangement but nobody is listening to me la la la la la

Unicam.. I have one of those in the bedroom... I thought about 2 but bicam sounds a bit sus

[M.V.]

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...

They're calling it the FZ9 or MT-09 depending upon where you're from, but it looks like this:

850cc "crossplane" (120 degree) triple.

A bicam would be useless Cobba, but a ragingpooftacam might come in handy.

That´s an old guy´s bike...high bars and shit. I want more of an OW-2 i said!
And i guess you did not see that but i linked to that triple first

Hey plenty of us `old guys` with high bars n sh*t can ride around power rangers on plastic rockets you know!
I`ve left plenty of mega powerful rocket pilots eatin my exhaust gases riding humble singles on the right roads.

[NWS870R]

I love Power Rangers, & Thomas The Tank, & Danger Mouse, & ............is that my coat?

I'm quite partial to old school 'carbed' motorcycles too!

[Mincehead]

Thomas The Tank, why does any married man have to resort to that?

True, nothing like the OW2. Yes, I missed your link

Now, if they bring out an 850 triple that looks like the Daytona/MV Agusta

[Mincehead]

But it`s not what the marketing boys tell them the market place wants so it`ll likely not happen. That said, the MT09 would be easy to turn into that type of thing with different bodywork, yokes, bars etc.

Looks more like an updated TDM to me guys - but where did our beloved TRX spring from?

I'm not sure that you want to know... looks like was coming from the inspiration of the Ducati Supersport
