Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 1, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2018 I just got an email from Yamaha that says: Join us at North America's largest Motorcycle and Powersports show, the AIMExpo in Las Vegas, NV from October 13 - 14, where you will have a chance to see firsthand the debut of a new Yamaha sport bike and many other new 2019 motorcycle models at the Yamaha display. Does anyone have any idea what the new sport bike could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Maybe they are talking about the Nikken? But I really hope they are bringing the Tracer 700 to the States! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 maybe it will be the multi-cylinder 400 that I've seen on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I think that will have inverted forks and slipper clutch If so I will stop studying and I will be a fortune teller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Global Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2018 Didn't they just do a refresh of the R3 recently? I would not call an updated R3 a new sport bike, but then I am not in marketing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Over here the R3 is called a supersport bike. "Sport bike" suggests to me an MT based bike. Tracer 700, hopefully for you guys. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yamaha is such a temptress. We aren't in a topless bar, Yamaha. Please, just get it over with and stop the Tracer tease. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo10 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The new R125 has an engine with Variable Valve Actuation. It would be good if Yamaha spread that to other bikes. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/yamaha-yzf-r125-2019/ Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrien Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 variable valves killed the VFR . No thanks , lets get rid of the cam chain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstyammerha Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I don't know if a 125 would sell over here. Multi-cylinder 300-400cc gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is such a nice bike (came this close to buying a new one off the showroom floor instead of my FZ-07) that Yamaha almost has to do something to counter with the R3, no?

firstyammerha Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 to me, the 300-400 class is stale and needs something exotic to prod the other manufacturers on(especially Honda). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
