Sounds fecking awful unless its a 120.

whats a 120?

i'm guessing the angle of pistons?

No, throw of the crank.

Does it say its a 750??? I can't find any data on engine size, it just says its a triple!

A commenter on MCN said 'Great, now put it in a Tmax with 16" wheels' !!!!

But what price would that be £10.5k?

Yeah...but it'd blow the BMWs into the weeds!!!! And £10.5K is only the same price as the C650GT with highline ripoff extras.

To answer my own question, there is no exact capacity quoted, but it is described explicitly as being 3 cylinders of an R1 engine, so it does seem likely to be a 750, but I don't think we'll be seeing it in a TMax anytime soon....

I'm sure Yamaha know exactly what they are doing...

Well I'm not.
They did build a good few 270 twins after all.
Fecking eejits.

But that was a long time ago when I still had hair...

[MrGrumpy]

I've just read that its actually 850cc and produces 130bhp....sounds rather wild!

[gn2]

850cc + 130bhp?
Sounds like it'll be a revving thrashmonster, definitely not suited to use in a maxi.

i used to own a 850 yamaha aTRX850 but that was a twin cyl nice bike tho

[gn2]

I've ridden both the XS750 and the XS850 triples, excellent bikes both.
Pity there's nothing like them or the outstanding Suzuki GS850 or Kawasaki GT750 available today.
