I suspect that they may well drop the 900 into a Tenere style frame, but ...

I don't think we will see a 660 and a 900cc offering from Yamaha. If the they do enter the middle ground, then I expect they will cease or reduce the Tenere production in favor of a 900. And I won't be buying one, I have the Tiger and the triple is just too much constant delivery for riding the loose stuff.

They will release the 'New 900 Tenere' ....

We may well see some development of the R & X, maybe larger tank, improved airbox and larger fairing to fill the gap left by the 660 Tenere.

Just guessing - but Yamaha aren't know for their marketing acumen in this sector. They had a chance to do good stuff, and they opted for the 1200 sector.
