It does look nice I must admit.
Does it use a detuned GP 800 engine, Yamaha will have plenty of those going spare.

That looks really cool [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
Do you know are they doing it in Yellow [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yahoo.gif[/img]

doesn't really do it for me, I must admit.
looks like the front end is parts from the Honda Hornet and Kawa Er6n thrown together. The tail end looks like it came of a GSXR. Frame looks cheap (plastic over tubes). It's just too much like any other naked bike currently on the market.
I prefer the FZ6 and FZ1 for looks. The 800 engine will probably be a blast though.

I agree, looks like all the other inline 4 nakeds

Thats prolly cos it's an inline 4 naked.
Think I'd go for a Street Triple over the FZ8 though.......in my little dream world [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
The old z650 was/is a nice looker....

MCN Yamaha 2010 Full page advert this week, No TDM in the line-up..... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

Orwell motorcycles have a blue 2009 model on special offer at only £6999! They're listing the TDM as a current 2010 model, though (at £8019).

Doesn't set my heart racing. Only thing of note are the downpipes, a little reminiscent of the 400/4 I thought. I'm on the same hymn sheet as Studley, don't think there will ever be a better looking nekked 4 than z650 / 900. Specially with a jacked up back end and an alpha 4 into 1 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Same here. I'm sure it is a reasonable bike though.
ps. I really don't like the look of the headlights that seem to be appearing on all bikes at the moment.
