Concept in progress: Yamaha 850cc Adventure...
For those of you who like road and some offroad, wanting something lighter than the big Super Tenere, it appears the idea of Yamaha making an 850cc adventure bike is more than just an idea, the concept and online polls with mock up photos have already begun in graphic form.
Threads have been popping up over on advrider. Seems more than a few were already thinking about this and using the new FZ-09 platform for it. Makes a lot of sense. It would be a triple threat to the Triumph Tiger 800XC and BMW F800 if they do it. Hope they do it, would be great to see a more aggressive offroad type version on this all new triple platform. The more support for it the better. I put this in the BAR forum here just in case this seems off topic!
Reportedly these below are "computer generated' photo shopped photos to simulate what it might look like, who knows... More discussion and feature polls are over on ADVRider forum.
a.k.a "MT-DM 850 Luca Bar concept bike", or aka TDM 850. Quote" The basic idea is to add some fairing, beef-up the suspension, change the ergonomics a little and voila – The Yamaha MT-DM 850 is here.".
