linky to Yamaha tease

Well I'm not even going to hazard a guess since I was so far off the mark guessing what the "new" Honda was gonna' be back on May 14th!!! :-[ ::025:: :D

Dallara





p.s. - but 5 will get ya' 10 you're are right though... It's the new 3-cylinder

It's a brutal advertising campaign showing the dark side of Japanese culture..

I agree with Dallara. after the Honda thing, I would guess it's the black YAMAHA "Hyperbole" cross plane BOLT 125cc Supermoto style scooter.

Anyway I hope it's a TRX900ZRRR triple without a beak... ::010:: Doh!! there I go again..

Great, another toy that I can't wait to come out, which I won't be able to afford.

No telling but I would think it may be a sub 660 cc something :) The statement : We have created a new kind of brutal animal bothers me some? ???

Just needs some kick boards and you got it..

Call it an Urban Adventure Crossover bike and do a huge press Day in Morocco. That will turn the industry on its head.

YAMAHA just needs to pre-program the throttle blipping into the warm up sequence so then you can tell them you have no choice.

It's the new "darker and unconventional" vibe maaan.

You know I never thought of this until my last trip, where I wanted to switch up display readings while on the move. They could easily put those buttons on the handlebar.

I think it'll be a retro, garage project looking bike with very spare "standard features" list, a huge accessory catalog, standard bike ergos, a 3 cyl crossplane crank motor of less than 1 litre, and a low buy in price. Think Bolt, but faster. An adv variant will drop about 6 months later, then a turbo version. All will have an annoying off idle fuel injection glitch. :D

It can be anything we want until reality intrudes. 8)

Damn shame it doesn't idle and the owner can't tune for beans. ::) Ever notice revvers are rarely riders? Neighbor used to back his HD out of the garage every Sunday morning and rev it for 20 minutes, then roll it back into the garage. I saw him actually ride it once in 10 years. Actually, not the same bike, he bought a new one every 4 years. The dealer would deliver it and take the old one away. He told me he didn't like to be out of style...

The teaser looks a lot like the super motard crowd. I suspect it won't be anything groundbreaking, just a pimped out super motard larger than 250. There aren't a lot of 500cc street bikes out any more and Honda just released their CB500 and varients for 2013. Probably aiming for that same market.
