I don't think this is already been posted. Yahama prototype MT-OS, on a MT-01 base. Very interesting concept!

It's a great looking Yamaha but why have they give it such a long wheelbase \ swing arm? I suppose they left the motor stock with its 85 or so at the crank BHP because it's a concept but if it does see the light of day that's one naked bike that needs much more power to suit its aggressive looks.

What no underslung exhaust! Where's the perimeter ZTL type front brake? Those new concepts are all the rage this year. NUTS |

Shorter swingarm and different exhaust and it just might be confused with an S-1! Concept bike ... now where ever did they come up with the idea for this one? . . . Good looking bike any how |

I like the thing a lot but there are some odd details that make me scrunch up my face and go "hurr?" Like the red lens over the headlight. and the odd tires the chainguard doesn't line up with where the chain is. Where is the rear suspension? underneath? |

I also think it's awsome. Natexlh1000, the shock is under. You can see it between the front sprocket and the exhaust.

AHH! I see the front headlight is actually an array of LEDs! the "lens" I saw was the red annodized aluminum housing. I want to see how bright those LEDs are. |

Seth, if you think like that, so the S-1 is a Ducati Monster wanna be? It's not because a bike has a twin engine and a Streetfighter look that they all are S-1 wanna be. I really like Buell bikes but there's other really nice bikes in the world, and this one look very special! You can like this bike or not but I don't think that it look like a S-1 wanna be! My 2 cents |

I love it. Yamaha got the styling right, but I bet that thing weighs 50lbs more than a tube frame Buell. I'd be interested in comparing the performances of the engines: American pushrods vs. Japanese pushrods. |

Buell vision. It's like staring at your S1 till you start hallucinating... |
