Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally get the concern about the V3 engine, it's always a hot topic in the biking community. But I think the torque and performance of the new engine could be a game changer, similar to what the Triumph offers. Exciting times ahead for us motorcycle enthusiasts!

@@MotoLogues That's cool admin! I am a former bigbike mechanical courses vocational student, and already practical/internship at Triumph motorcycle dealership here in Sabah, east Malaysia, So I know A little bit about the power the triple engine that triumph offer on their latest bike model street triple line-up series.

3 sylinders placed in a V...

2 in front, one in the back. Similiar to, though scaled down from their RC211V 4 stroke MotoGP engine when MotoGP switched from 500cc two stroke to 990cc 4 stroke in the early 2000's. The RC211V used a V5 engine. 3 cylinders in front, 2 in the rear bank.

@katdareaniket A V3 engine features three cylinders arranged in a 'V' shape, which can offer a unique combination of torque and power delivery. It's similar to what you might see in some of Honda's previous racing models.

@brentbartley6838! The design of the V3 engine takes inspiration from Honda's racing heritage, particularly with the RC211V. It’s fascinating to see how they’re scaling down the technology from MotoGP for their new models.

Why not v5?

Why not inline 6​@@Antiagony95

Why not w16?

Why not V12?

@Nikita12334 While a V4 engine has its own set of benefits, Honda seems to be opting for the V3 configuration for this new model to enhance maneuverability and reduce weight, which can be crucial for various motorcycle segments. The new V3 engine is expected to deliver high power and better cooling compared to a V4, making it a competitive choice. And yes, because Honda wants the V3! 😄

I understand where you're coming from! It can be frustrating when new models don't seem to meet the expectations of hardcore enthusiasts. The R9 and R7 aim to cater to a broader audience, balancing performance and usability for everyday riders. While they might feel a bit toned down compared to more aggressive models, Yamaha seems to be targeting a mix of comfort and sportiness to attract more riders to the brand.

The ZX-14R is a classic, but it’s true that it hasn’t seen significant updates in terms of emissions and electronics. With Euro 5 standards becoming the norm, it would be great to see Kawasaki integrate more advanced tech like what’s found in the ZX-10R. It seems like there’s a demand for bikes that not only deliver power but also have cutting-edge features.

@@MotoLogues supposedly the H2SX is the successor to the ZX14, hence why they currently don't want to update the ZX14. Personally I think the H2SX is a totally different motorcycle in terms of use and styling and Kawasaki will lose a lot of sales by discontinuing the ZX14

True that! The H2SX is cool, but the ZX-14R has its own vibe that a lot of riders love. It’d be a bummer if they just let it go without any updates.

As of now, Yamaha hasn't officially confirmed the availability of the XSR900GP in the USA. However, they often bring their popular models stateside, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for announcements.

The ZX-14R does have a similar look to its predecessors, which can be a letdown for those expecting a fresh design. However, it still packs a punch with its powerful engine and advanced technology. Sometimes, manufacturers stick with a classic design that fans love.

🚀😄🏍️

Yep, for real! 😂👍

Looks like someone’s feeling a bit salty! 😄 The R9 definitely has some serious appeal, and it’s all about personal preferences.

Haha, that’s a strong reaction! No worries, mate, it's all just speculation based on the patent. If Yamaha doesn’t do anything, you might be right. Let’s wait and see! Thanks for watching anyway.

🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍

thats incredibly silly. MT07 vs R7 is a good example. Better shocks and forks, different geometry due to forks, different gearing. an R bike is an R bike.

@l33t132 Exactly! The R series always has those key differences, like the suspension setup and geometry, that set it apart from the MT models. It’s more than just slapping on some fairings!

The mt03 is legit the r3 engine just different frame and fairings

Youre not bright are you?

Availability can vary by region, but hopefully soon! Best to check with your local dealers or keep an eye on CFMoto's official updates for the latest info. Excited to see it hit the showrooms!

Sorry to hear you feel that way! This is more of a speculative take based on Yamaha’s recent patents, so nothing is official yet. Appreciate the feedback though!

@@MotoLogues Then title it that way instead of claiming a new bike was introduced.

You’re right, should’ve been clearer! I’ll take that into account next time. Thanks for pointing it out!

Yeah, it's frustrating when certain markets miss out on features like fuel injection 😢 Let's hope Yamaha listens to the demand and brings it to the UK soon!

The RD350LC is a true legend 👊👊 Would love to see the return of that 2-stroke magic!

I can feel the passion! Sounds like you’ve got a real love for the RD350. It’d be awesome to see it hit the streets again!

Appreciate the feedback! Just trying to have fun with the concept, but who knows-maybe Yamaha will surprise us one day.

Sounds like some wild memories! Nothing like that two-stroke adrenaline rush-those were the days! 🏍️💨

🏍️💨

If they do make it, I hope it’s not too crazy on the price!

Right? Just point me to the sign-up sheet! I’m ready for a new RD350!

Yeah, it seems like a long shot, but it would be awesome if Yamaha surprises us!

Sounds like you've found the perfect fit with the 450 MT! Not everyone needs the extra weight and power-especially if you're more into light traveling and enjoying local spots. Keep riding what suits you best!

That sounds like an absolute beast! Those Toomey pipes were legendary. Bet you miss that rush-nothing quite like the thrill of a two-stroke RD!

Absolutely! If Yamaha builds it, there's no doubt a ton of people will be lining up. Let's make it happen!

You're right! With modern tech like direct injection, it seems like a two-stroke could meet EPA standards. If they can do it with outboards, why not bikes? Would be amazing to see that happen!

That's a great point! Reviving iconic bikes like the RD350 could definitely spark interest in both new and returning riders, especially with the nostalgia factor and the current push for lighter, more efficient designs. Yamaha has a real opportunity here to tap into that history while adapting to modern tech. Imagine a modern RD500 or even a reimagined TZ750-those would be game-changers!

That would be an awesome pairing! Having a modern RD350 alongside an '84 RZ350 would be the ultimate two-stroke dream garage. Matching the old-school thrill with a new twist sounds perfect!

@@MotoLogues I rode a '71 Kawaski 500 H1 through high school, I didn't know a motorcycle could handle so well until I started racing a '77 RD400.

Sounds like you had some epic rides back then! The H1 must have been a wild experience, and racing the RD400? That’s awesome! Those bikes really know how to deliver that adrenaline rush!

The RD400 with the coffin tank definitely has that classic Yamaha look. It’s hard to beat that iconic style!

Nice! Sending some love back from here! 👌🇳🇱

Sounds like you and your friend had some great rides! The RD350 was definitely a quick machine. How did the Interceptor 500 stack up against it?

That's awesome! Having two original RD350s is quite the treasure. If they ever bring this new one out, sounds like it would be a perfect addition to your collection!

Yes! Nothing beats the scream of expansion chambers and that sweet castor oil smell. Big horsepower is great, but bring back the true 2-stroke experience!

That Aprilia RS 250 Race Rep sounds like a blast on the track! Yeah, those fuel-injected 2-strokes are sweet but definitely come with a steep price tag and wait. Would be cool if more manufacturers brought back something similar at a more affordable level!

@johnmarshjr928 Triumph knocked it out of the park with the 400, and 50k sold is no joke. A 450cc RD would definitely shake things up! Yamaha, take note! Also, the '06 V-Max 1200 is a beast, respect! 💪🔥

@neilgouws6962 Man, letting those RZs slip away must’ve been rough! 😬 But hey, if Yamaha pulls off this miracle, third time's the charm, right? Let’s hope they make it happen so you can finally grab that legendary ride! 🤞🔥

Hahaha, love the energy! 😄🔥 Let’s keep our fingers crossed and maybe Yamaha will surprise us all! 🤞❤️💯

Haha, sounds like you had quite the collection! 🔥 Those old air-cooled RD and R5s were definitely something else. Nothing beats the fun of a two-stroke screamer, right? Bring back the smokers for sure! 😎💨

That's some serious dedication! 😄 Gotta make room for the legend, right? Would be worth it to get your hands on this beauty! 🏍️💨
