That looks quite capable and remarkably like the 660z, with a tdm engine.

The teases, hope it's not a photoshop job.

I do hope I can't afford one.

It says 1200 on the side panel of one of the versions. Maybe the rumours were right after all!

Edit: Or maybe it's not genuine - just noticed the the mis-spelling of Akrapovic!

Looks good though.

Looks good, but is it for real? Just some wishful thinkin' and good photoshop-artist, I pressume? On the other hand..... Come on Yamaha, don't let the Tenere supporters wait, we want it now!! Policy&strategy, I guess. For now, I'm more then happy with my XT660Z Tenere(now in hybernation), but who knows..... Wait and see.

That is not real, that is someone making it up, the images are "shopped" for sure.

Not a bad bit of fakery me thinks, let down by the mis-spelt Akrapovic, but what a good looking and marketable concept. Lets hope Yamaha act along these lines eh?!!

I have to agree that it's not real because: 1) it looks too similar to the 660z, 2) the headlights on the official sight are horizontal while the youtube version is vertical, like the 660z, and 3) it wouldn't market for sw-motech's sidecases if it were real.

The second last paragraph is pretty funny, "So as you can see, there’s no need to take the long way round...", a little jab to Ewan and Charlie.
