Yamaha's big announcement

[PFD023]

Yamaha seems to be trying to ramp up hype around a "big announcement" scheduled for 4CET time today......could be interesting.:Flash:

 

[KingY]

Damn im so excited. im a Yamaha fan boy!!

 

[Baci]

Tripple R1 & R6?? :Sport::rockon:

 

[Water Bear]

fingers crossed for mid-sized sport touring rig a la NC700. It won't happen, but I can dream

 

[greg]

what time is that in UTC? (or GMT or BST)

 

[KingY]

i dont know greg i been on google all afternoon trying to find any info on it. i be certain i post up if i find anything unless someone beats me to it

 

[dpaul007]

I link to something would be helpful. I can't even find info on this apparent announcement :ban:

 

[Andz]

what time is that in UTC? (or GMT or BST)

4 CET is the same as 4 here, 3 BST, in other words 4 hours ago, anyone got any news?

 

[Baci]

Could this be mistaken for the announcement that already happened? The FZ-09?

Or maybe they are just going to announce more of the 2014 line? Unless I am missing something the only bike for 2014 they announced so far is the FZ-09.

Nothing on the USA version of their site indicates they have any news, which is super odd not to hype up something if they have something big to share.

 

[Baci]

I would imagine any news will appear here.

OOPS. nevermind. i had my time zones confuzed....

PFD023 needs to provide some links or I think he is mistaken. It is 850pm CET right now. They "should" have made the announcement almost 5 hours ago. I have a strong feeling this was the news about the FZ-09

 

[Smersh]

return to WSBK?

This is an article posted today about Yamaha announcing their first pre-amp and amp. Maybe that was Yamaha's announcement.

150 clean watts x 11 channels plus 2 sub outputs... and it only costs about 1/2 the price of an FZ6 ... yeah I'd say that's pretty good news indeed :BLAA:!

I was hoping for an fz-11 but oh well

The statement about a "big announcement" came right from Yamaha's FB page. I can't find anything worthwhile being "announced" there either....don't shoot the messenger.

I agree, no point shooting the messenger.
Thanks for clarifying, Yamaha are just going to keep us waiting. I like the new amp though.

Must have been a false alarm. I was hoping for some more info on that spied r1 2014. Shall keep the war to the ground for that one.
