XV1100SE Posted May 20, 2017 Share #151 Posted May 20, 2017 Lookin again at those pics; those gotta be v-twins, right? With that single exhaust coming out of the rear jug. You'd think if it was a V-4, there'd be 2 exhaust, one coming outta each jug. Take a look at the picture of the VMax... only see a single pipe on each side.... and that's the v4 http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/details-build-price.php?model=4867&group=MC&catId=118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think if it was a V-4, there'd be 2 exhaust, one coming outta each jug. Thats what I thought until I looked at the new vmax. Noticed how only the front header pipe is exposed. Hoping they've done the opposite on the new cruiser Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think if it was a V-4, there'd be 2 exhaust, one coming outta each jug.With the "sneak preview" pictures, I am sort of hoping that the exhaust is partially blackened out coming from the front to the rear and it is really a V-4 in there. The detailing is hard to pick out in the picture! I'm really hoping for a large 4 banger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 20, 2017 Share #154 Posted May 20, 2017 Assuming that the new bike is not just going to be a converted Star VTwin, and the fun in contemplating what it's going to look like after dissecting the stealth pics, the one thing nobody seems concerned about is....... The price$$$. If it is what everyone is hoping for, will they be able to afford it, or will Yamaha price themselves out of the market?? The only way I can see a new Venture making it would be if it were radically different and not just a re-schmooze of an existing bike. To be successful Yamaha needs to create their own new niche market. Marketing is a tricky thing and I hope that Yama-Mama gets it right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you all look real hard there is something on the the front and runs below the foot rest like under the frame.....

steamer Posted May 20, 2017 Share #156 Posted May 20, 2017 Did anyone else notice if you look at the right side and left side pic's that the exhaust headers are coming out of the rear jugs. If its a V twin one of them should be a cross over from the front jug.This is a V4 with the front pipes tucked under the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted May 20, 2017 Share #157 Posted May 20, 2017 Judging from the size and apparent I.D. of the muff's - I am thinking definitely V-4 and - from the placement of the headers,, a very good chance of it being boosted.. Mom Yam fooled with boosting back a number of years ago - remembering the 650.. I have always thought all engines should be boosted as its the most effecient way to gain horse power = because its using exhaust pressure to spool up the turbo = its actually free power!! Lots of the car companies are catching on to this - some even using twin turbos to gain both torque and hp... Could be interesting......... So,, I will ask again,, anybody thinking of going to the unveiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be successful Yamaha needs to create their own new niche market. Marketing is a tricky thing and I hope that Yama-Mama gets it right... That's my concern too. Some of the things that are being asked to be built in would be much more expensive than after market versions that likely to be better and which have the possibility of an upgrade as technology progresses. I'm thinking particularly of GPS and sound systems. It might be just me but my preference for mounting a GPS is on the handle bars which can be closer to my eyes which makes it safer to look at while riding. The other thing is sound systems. I would like to see an FM radio with a Bluetooth system which both transmits and receives so it will connect to both headsets and a music source. Forget building in XM Radio, just make the built in radio accept the connection to the XM. I can't remember what the actual formula is but something like every dollar spent in the factory translates to $100 on the showroom floor. The Venture Royale was built like a Cadillac and for the time was as costly as one. The mass market cannot afford a Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaboo Posted May 20, 2017 Share #159 Posted May 20, 2017 Yamaha does have a 1049cc boosted triple in the snowmobile chassis shared with Arctic Cat that puts out around 200 ponies. It is light and scary fast. They definitely created their own segment in that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted May 22, 2017 Share #163 Posted May 22, 2017 If someone has a larger display.... from the picture of the guy in the yellow jacket to the guy in the blue/dark jacket.... is it the same side of the bike shown? For example...look for the heel/toe shifter....or is it the brake pedal? Is only one side of the bike captured or both in separate pictures?

BG Hawks Posted May 22, 2017 Share #164 Posted May 22, 2017 A lot of thoughts and wishes have been discussed about Yamaha Part Three. My questions are: 1. What is Yamaha going to do to entice their dealers to bring in these bikes and have them on the showroom floor? 2. More importantly, How are they going to drive the rider to these dealers to purchase these bikes? Me, like many others I'm looking forward to the unveil and yes I'm saving my pennies and picking up cans (my brothers in Iowa know what I'm talking about). If disappointed I guess that I have a few bucks tucked away and the Iowa landscape is that much cleaner and prettier. Happy Monday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and grandpa used to go out at 5 am for a 5 mile ride and pick up cans, till the early 90s when he got to afraid to do it anymore... More cars and trucks taking his route where we used to be lucky to see 2 cars a day... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share #166 Posted May 22, 2017 Crap! your right, it is reversed. Guess we will have to wait till June 5th to find out. Look at the pics again and you will notice that the rear brakes are on opposite sides when you flip from right to left pic. There is one pipe from the front and one from the back jugs. If it is a V4 then they have a header hid in there on both jugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think if it was a V-4, there'd be 2 exhaust, one coming outta each jug. All the pics are of the left side of the bikes. The one pic that appears to be of the right side is a reversed negative, you can tell by the back ground and the shadows, also the sun shining off his helmet.

Flyinfool Posted May 24, 2017 Share #172 Posted May 24, 2017 Looks like a bigger pic of the front end. From that pic it looks like it really will have a 4 headlight system. I wonder if that will be 4 headlights or 2 headlights and 2 driving lights? Hopefully LED or HID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
