Not heard anything about that - but a new 2-stroke? Surely not.

I'm aware! But sadly I can't see Yamaha developing a 2t twin just now. I'd be delighted to be wrong.

Likewise, but can you imagine the hoops Yamaha would have to jump through to pass Euro 5 legislation? As far as I'm aware there's an 'off road' loophole that allows 2 stroke enduros etc. to still be sold. I may be wrong on this...

Quite a few VDers ended up in RiDE magazine articles (interviews or taking part in rides or events) when Kar was working there. He's a nice guy.
