Yamaha Claims It Will “Change the Sport Motorcycle World” on June 11. ???

From Yamaha:

While some onlookers may see Japan just as a traditional and respectful society where conformity is the norm, behind this stereotypical image lies a vibrant sub-culture where new fashions and ideas are constantly emerging.
From the spectacle of drift racing through to the insanity of Japanese speedway, the other side of Japanese society has been responsible for some wild and wonderful trends.
The same creative forces that drive the darker and unconventional side of Japan now have created a new kind of brutal animal, which is about to change the sport motorcycle world.


The Dark Side Of Japan : 11 June 2013

Yep, I'm thinking Vmax does Bking.

 

[tomatocity]

Its a $12,000 350 pound XT1200Z with 8.5" ground clearance, seat height that lets a 32" inseam rider flat foot, heated grips, Ohlins suspension on both ends, 48 mm fork tubes, electric adjustable windshield, cruise control, TC and engine mode on the fly, Woody's wheels, and 50 MPG. ::26::

[GrahamD]

...it'll be a new naked triple -- think Triumph's STREET triple.

Probably a sub 700cc mill that'll have a stratospheric rpm range and hard angled body parts.

It'll look the bad boy hooligan type - prolly comes only in black too.

 

[mcbrien]

They just came out with a sportster and they have the FZ8 . Must be something that's not
going to compete with these .

 

[Joe-JOE]

I hope thy make a KLR 750 with shaft drive & no doo-hickey

A couple of japanese kids have already been practicing stunting on it behind closed doors. I smell rubber burning

 

[GrahamD]

Probably a sub 700cc mill that'll have a stratospheric rpm torque range and hard start angled body parts.

It'll look the bad sensible boy hooligan - prolly comes only in black blue too.

I hope it's not exactly 675 or all they will get is "triumph copy" from all the youngins which IS their target market.
