This bike looks pretty interesting. They are throwing a lot of tech at the new bikes. Would love to see some of it make it into a s10 replacement.

This bike looks very interesting to me. There's no announcement of Yamaha's intention to market in the US (so far anyway) unfortunately. Seems a similar situation exists for the revised Niken.

I think the T-12 will be transmorphed into a Tracer. The number remains to be seen.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a “T-9”, but it’d be a shame to see Yamaha abandon the big bore (1000cc +) adventure market.

I agree. I keep hoping I’ll hear about a new shaft drive adventure bike from Yamaha that will go toe to toe with the Tiger 1200 and GS 1250 but the longer I wait the more I think they might just focus on the cp2 and cp3 bikes that they keep improving. They T7 is a great bike and the mid-size adventure market is really hot right now but id think the full size market is still worth competing in.

Thing is Yamaha built a very good bike that has stood the test of time. But it didnt sell. I cant see them doing it again.
They will go into markets where they can compete and retain their modular designs and sell bikes.

That looks like it was cut with a saw blade of some kind.
Although it doesn't show it, the audio clarifies that the chassis is split on both sides... and without crashes... that's why it's for scrapping. It probably may have been a low blow in the engine

I'm not jumping to any conclusions; I like the Tracer, and it's on the list as a replacement for the S10 when that time comes (though I hate going back to a chain). My Spanish is far too rusty to be able to translate what the rider in the video is saying about how it occurred.
