Found this on Asphalt and Rubber's website. I like the concept a lot better than the FZ-09/MT09 naked currently coming out for 2014. Yamaha MT-DM 850 Concept by Luca Bar Design
Meh, not much on that concept. Maybe if I could see more of it, but from the side, I don't like it. I prefer the FZ-09 better. I guess we will never know...
The three-cylinder motor is also reported to be quite innovative, featuring both a balancer shaft and a crossplane crank, leading to a smooth 0º, 240º and 480º firing order. Different length intakes are used for each cylinder and the throttles are ride-by-wire, meaning the MT-09 features three switchable engine maps. :/
I like the look of it. But was the tank size increased by 50%? The wheelbase increased? And wheel sizes? A comfy pillion seat? Then you might be getting near a TDM, and it would be great, especially at a price below £7k in UK (as at present).
