Middleweight adventurer staging for launch
Videos by Evans Brasfield, Brett Colpitts
Although this is a so-called concept bike, we’re confident we’ll be seeing a production version of this mid-sized adventure bike by EICMA 2017. It uses a new frame wrapped around a version of the FZ-07’s satisfying and compact parallel-Twin motor, with longer-travel suspension to soak up off-road hits.
More details on the T7 can be found in the link above, including how it was co-developed with Yamaha’s official rally team. For now, take a look at what Evans Brasfield has to say about it after perusing in Milan at the EICMA show.

I'll buy one to replace my KLR
Kevin-
On a related small cc subject. If Yamaha pulls this off does Honda use a CB500 platform to build an Africa or Ralley model? Even more interesting- with the semi-successful CSC RX3, the upcoming BMW 310GS, the rumored KTM 390 Adv- do you think the market is there for the Suzuki DL250, Kaw Versys 300? If so, How could Yamaha pass up on a FJ03/Tenere300? Basically, are we ready to go small?
