Yam ready to make MT01

The motor appears somewhat related to Yamaha's pushrod, V-twin cruiser Road Star (a 1600cc V-twin), but the cases are different and you can expect that the motor will be tuned for significantly more horsepower and torque. Combining this with the obviously lightweight chassis will result in a new level of performance in a pushrod V-twin motorcycle.

Personally - I kinda like it....

Yea, I kinda like that. Tho' I'm thinkin' there might be a bit of heat generated by that pipe and that could cause a bit of a burning sensation on the inner thigh

Trouble is the Jap firms show us awesome mock up models but they don't seem to be able to translate the concept 'unchanged' into a proddy bike we can buy. One of my favorites was the Suzuki NUDA that looked like the tummy poppin creature from "Alien" The Italians can do it. Ducati Hailwood replica thingy 2 yrs ago and maybe the cool 70's retros they've shown recently will hit the shops unchanged. Benelli stayed true to design with the Tornado and mind blowin TNT
