Sport Rider has a slightly more informative article this month.
Kunihiko Miwa told them that Yamaha already has a 675cc triple designed and briefly compared it to the Triumph mill.He said it has a larger bore than the Triumph with a shorter stroke, giving more response and inertia.
The inertia statement has me confused, inertial torque?I hate to say a bad word towards Yamaha, I love them in fact, but I thought the were trying to trade inertial torque for combustion torque.I'm still excited about the new triples, but it sounds like they are just touching the market instead of unveiling something truly unique.
The first half of the article was about the motogp level traction control these bikes will receive.So at least we can keep our fingers crossed for a fun firing order or something I guess.
