r1limited Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 @MT27 Yamaha already built a concept bike of the DT-07. I have heard via the grapevine that frames and engine componets much like what yamaha did with Shel Thuett kits in the 70s were offered via Yamaha GYTR, that there will be parts available. I heard 2019/2020. Jeff Pelgyi built the first concepts, however there is a frame company in So Cal that is building frames for AMA GNC and exclusive for Yamaha. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT27 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 They both look nice. The mt07 just does not have enough motor . The mt09 does but if you are going to build a triple flat tracker. Why not build a mt10 version of a tz750 tracker? 150 hp with the flat plane crank sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1limited Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have to disagree on the MT07 has no motor. When you have an R&D budget unlimted such as Indians FTR750 and build a purpose built bike around said engine, well you dominate. Such as Honda did with the RS750 when HD XR750's ruled the roost for decades. Then Honda disapeared and HD dominated again as they were the only game in town with a purpose built bike that literally costs 25k to send back for a rebuild "A FEW TIMES A YEAR" So along comes the Kawi 650 and starts beating XR at its game, Then all teams started to float toward the kawi motor. AMA loosened up the rules to allow for Triumph, KTM, Ducati, Suzuki to bring in 900cc bikes and they all failed. So really a 900 cannot beat a purpose built 750. Yamaha has attempted to bring Babe DeMay in, not sure what happened to that entire process, but if Demay had the backing and or Yamaha pulled out, we would see a much larger effort on the Yamaha 07. Mickey Rush, Cory Texter, Jake Johnson, Halbert (Now with HD) all are pretty formidable riders on the 07 and do well. The 07 has the potential, it needs the money bags of Yamaha and proper tuner to get it done. With bikes at this stage in this arena are pitted against each other,,, It really is all about who is the man and who is not. Right now Jarrod Meese owns it all. Would he be any different on a 07? I say NO, he would beat them all but not as badly as he does on the FTR750 “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT27 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 First XR750 I rode had a BDM engine in it. Fun as hell. Around 1990-91 I thought about taking a Axtell Mountain Motor sportster engine and sticking it in a XR750 chassis. That would have been a fun 130 hp street bike. The reason I would not build a mt07 street tracker is every ride you would come away with the thought - This thing deserves another 20 hp or this thing would be so much more fun with another 20 hp.

Liquidmetal Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Really diggin this new Indian. Much more so than the Harley Streetfighter. I won't give Harley a dime of my money just on principle. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

MT27 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Because I am not impressed with a 1200 cc bike needing to be clutched to do a wheelie. I get called a poser by a guy that rides a r1 limited and uses r1limited as his form name so that everyone on the internet will know that he has a r1. Funny as hell.
