I just read that too. I'm sure it'll be some terrible throwback motorcycle. I'm tamping my expectations lol.

Probably going to be a letdown. Not sure if electric would be better than 4 stroke

they may be renewing it so somebody else doesn't use it.

I'd prefer an EFI 2t final hurrah model, but im not holding my breath either.

An EFI 2-stroke, like the Langen...dare to dream. Yamaha could do it, if they wanted to and could justify the small sales numbers, I think. I'm going to hold my breath and research used kidney prices.
I post waayyy too much

Hopefully Yamaha doesn't go down the same path that Ford did. Ford ruined the legendary names of Mustang and Lightning with 2 really stupid electric vehicles. As a long-time owner of both performance ICE models, it more than just pissed me off! :rant-1:

Since we're dreaming... Skidoo/Rotax has a turbo two stroke that passes California clean air... and my impression is Yamaha is much smarter than Rotax... MUCH SMARTER

may well be a 4T like the H2, Yamahas answer to the ZX4.

Yamaha should do it based on the sole fact they single handily destroyed 2-strokes in MX/SX.
