India. Looks like a photoshop job. I think it's one of the small displacement XSRs in the photo. XSR155? If Kawasaki hadn't just teased a 2-stroke... I'm majorly skeptical. Honda is rumored to have a 350cc Cafe Racer in the works.
 2-stroke YPVS with ECU controlled lubrication and direct injection...

Bullsh*t or legit?

I call it a bull*

Every few months or so some of these sites (and more so on youtube) list the supposed "rebirth" but until it's coming from Yamaha officially, I'd take it as grain of salt. :rant-1:

FWIW, this was also a hot discussion sometime ago for the RG500 Gamma on a group which I'm a member of. Of course, was not legit end of day.

Few fakes one:

They should call them by another name unless they are 2 strokes.....shameful.
