That's what I was thinking Mr P. Sportsbike engines have gone a bit too far up the rev range to make great streetbike engines in recent times - can you see a ZX10 engine being any good in a streetbike, for instance, so a big torquey triple might be just the ticket. The article suggests it will be used in other bikes so again like Triumph, or Honda, I reckon it would end up in the next Tenere as well. Oh, go on Yamaha, make it a 1200 or even 1300, stick it in the Fazer chassis and give it a big tank!
