[GrahamD]

Apparently another track revolution is coming...

Not that anyone will notice with that H2R getting all the attention..

The Beginning of a New Era

A Track Revolution is Coming - R1

Hmmmm "revolution"… Does peak my interest…

November 3rd? Is it a triple?

Reminds me of those Triumph adds, you see something but nothing.
Sort of a tease.. ::017::

In the videos you do get a side shot that shows cross plane crank I-4, so guessing no on the triple

Rumoured to be a "normal IL4" and one variant at 230HP.

Could have a 750cc triple and 150-170 HP down the track though using some of the same parts.

Are there any more rumours I can start for you today sir?

What time in which vid? I watched and don't see it. And the sound I hear isn't an x-plane IL4. At the 11 second mark in the 2nd video, that doesn't look like the left side of any Yam engine I've seen. We'll know in 9 days...

 

[autoteach]

I actually cannot remember where I saw it. Will look, think it was different video.

The 1st huh?

Those would be good ones. I gave up on a street legal WR450 ever coming here.

Sorry, english is my 3rd language.
Besides the models that have been announced, Yamaha has a further three models being announced on the 1st of November.
Obviously one of them is the new R1.
The R6 is staying as is.
Most likely the FJ-09, but that still leaves one model.
Probably a T-MAX with new paint ::015::

That is the date of the Progressive IMS in San Mateo CA. Good, so maybe the Super9 will be on display.

The FJ-09? yes.
don't hold your breath on a FZ09 powered Tenere.

I'm holding mine for a FZ-07 powered Tenere...but I am turing a bit and red. soon to be blue, and dead

 

[tomatocity]

The FZ-07 I rode was a barker. I doubt I would buy a Tenere that performed like the 07.

Elaborate on your comment Tim...I rode the FZ07 as well, and rather liked the motor. In a lighter package, it would do very well off and on road.
