Something to look forward to, so far the talk is that the bike will be based on the MT07 engine. The current spy pictures shows it using some of the 660Z bodywork. Some think it may even be a 750 ? I was hoping for a modern Tenere single but it seems multi's are easier to get through emissions and all manufacturers are going that way. My hope for the new bike will be :

Good suspension sourced from the WR450
21/18 (not 17) wheels
10 - 15 kg weight saving over current 660
Again a 23L tank will be great, believe the AT at 18 is too small
Anything mid 70 hp will be more than enough for proper offroad adventure touring

Not a fan of the bottom rendering, leans too much in the S10 direction

What say you ?
