I've heard rumors of a new replacement using the FZ-07/MT-07 twin cylinder which would be phenomenal! But who knows if that one would actually make it to the USA as well.

The problem is this bike compared to the KLR is way more expensive. If Yamaha could make this bike a little cheaper to compete with the KLR I think they would sell lots in the USA.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-7109341356486749562014-09-21T12:16:03.502-04:002014-09-21T12:16:03.502-04:00I think Yamaha would be stupid not to bring this t...I think Yamaha would be stupid not to bring this to the USA.

Also, made tough and proven on plenty of RTW trips. Very tall (the one I rode was lowered but was still fairly high) and quite heavy but they get along just fine.<br /><br />Still on my list of possibles for replacing my Vee but I would prefer a bigger, more powerful donk for the sealed roads you need to ride before hitting the gravel. I do like the 23L tank - you can never have too much fuel...Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.com
