If they keep the price down and built something like that they would sell a ton of them.

Where are you getting the info on a June 4 release date?

A 300cc two stroke dual sport in the second pic looks like. Can you just imagine throwing supermoto tires on that thing??

I can't see this being true - another photoshop job... But, I hope I'm wrong. Time for a new bike if that does indeed come out. Otherwise, I'm sticking with my '12 KTM 300XC!

300 2-stoke is the perfect engine - for me...

Yep, design group in AU photoshopped that - too bad...

I won't believe it until I see it. This image has been floating around on the internet for months now. I do sincerely hope they produce something equivalent to the KTM/Husky 300's though .

Ive seen this picture a few months ago. Not sure whats going on. It would be cool if Yamaha had something to go against KTM though. Just still waiting for something Direct Injection!

Direct Injection would put the price point at the same as a fourstroke race bike. And the complexity along with fuel tank and pump redesign, etc. You get the picture.
