Ever since Yamaha released the FZ-07/MT-07 (depending on market) it’s been getting rave reviews for it’s 690cc 74hp parallel twin cylinder motor and relatively light wet weight of 179kg.
German bike Mag Motorad has a history of predicting what manufacturers are going to release and it’s recently published that Yamaha are looking at releasing 15 new models or major updates to existing models for 2015, and that a FZ 07 powered adventure bike is going to be one of them.

Let’s hope Motorad are right!
Just to show I’m not all talk, yes I did buy one (for any of you none FB people)
Every bit as good as I hoped and have it at about 202kg kitted out with most of the bits I want including crash bars. so very close to my ideal 200kg mark on my first post
