I know, it's lovely.
I keep looking ahead a couple of years to when I may want to replace the TRX, and there isn't a lot in it's class that doesn't cost an over inflated fortune or two. I hope they do a half faired version.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Hmmm. I'd guess the MT01 will have at least a $20K or so retail here. Pretty sure they're not trying to compete with the SV market...
Actually I'm kinda hanging out to see what happens with the '05 bindits. I hear whispers of entirely new frames with transplanted and retuned GSXR 600/1000 lumps...

Bah. I tried to enter the contest and New Zealand is not a valid option for country of choice.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Ain't nuthin Southern Hemisphere in the list, so I'm picking it's a Belgarda Euro only bike
They'll probably bring shed loads of cheap ones over in 5 years time a la Suzuki GS1200ss.(We can but dream)

Low-tech engines are neat. I like 'em. Cars and bikes both. Low-tech suspension and structure, however, suck goats.
Which is why a big ol' aircooled V-twin in a modern frame with kick-arse brakes, UDFs and a good rear monoshock would, well, rock.
Presumably someone important at Yamaha thinks so too.

Sounds like what you need is an Irving Vincent:

I think they`re trying to forget this one

Nothing actually wrong with it but the Bulldog was pushed as "the new V-Max" when it`s a big pussy-cat.Mags trashed it but purely Yamaha`s fault for trying to sell it as something it definately wasn`t.Shame as it`s a really nice machine,maybe you`ll get some down your way nice and cheap soon as they really bombed sales-wise in Europe,ideal if you a relaxed tourer and cant afford/dont want a B.M.W.
As for the Bandits,I read recently that the rumour is that the next models will be re-badged Z750/Z1000`s.If that sounds far-fetched Kawasaki have just launched what is effectivley a re-badged V-Strom and the DRZ400 is due a Kawasaki branded stablemate this year sometime as well.
gee wizzz
that looks apsolutely brutal. A lean mean fighting machine
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
