Old Miner Posted March 7, 2011 #1 Posted March 7, 2011 I came across this on a UK website and with a bit of lateral thinking could this be the missing link to a 3rd Generation RSV??????? http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/return-of-the-trx/17434.html Old Miner.
RandyR Posted March 7, 2011 #2 Posted March 7, 2011 maybe a new sport tourer, but not a RSV version 3
Old Miner Posted March 7, 2011 Author #3 Posted March 7, 2011 I said we would need some lateral thinking, but I read recently that Yamaha had also patented a turbo diesel engine as well. Who knows what the future might hold? Neil.
RandyR Posted March 7, 2011 #4 Posted March 7, 2011 Yamaha has made engine stuff for Toyota automobiles in the past.
SC89Venture Posted March 7, 2011 #5 Posted March 7, 2011 Didn't the first SHO Taurus's have Yamaha engines?
Condor Posted March 7, 2011 #6 Posted March 7, 2011 I bet if they took the new 1700cc V4, made it a 2400cc FI V6, and put it in a Strat or Sport Tourer, they'd raise a few eye brows. It would certainly take the wind out of the sails of the new Beamer 6, and Triumph 2300 Triple. I'd be swayed to seriously look at buying a big torquey V6 in a Stato-Liner with a trunk.

RandyR Posted March 7, 2011 #8 Posted March 7, 2011 Didn't the first SHO Taurus's have Yamaha engines? indeed. from wikipedia. n 1984, executives of the Yamaha Motor Corporation signed a contract with the Ford Motor Company to develop, produce, and supply a compact 60° DOHC V6 engine for transverse application The SHO V6 was a high-tech and revolutionary design when it debuted in 1988. Displacing 3.0 L (2986 cc/182 cu in), it was an iron block, aluminum head 24-valve DOHC engine with an innovative variable length intake manifold. Its oversquare and symmetrical design, which sported an 89 mm (3.5 in) bore and 80 mm (3.1 in) stroke, gave the high-revving engine an output of 220 bhp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 6200 rpm and 200 lb·ft (271 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm at the flywheel
slick97spirit Posted March 7, 2011 #9 Posted March 7, 2011 If that's the next RSV or what replaces it, I'll be riding the one I have till the wheels fall off then if I'm still riding, will be looking for something in the classic sense of motor cycles other than a Yamaha
Old Miner Posted March 7, 2011 Author #10 Posted March 7, 2011 Yes I totally agree with you. I'll keep mine too and ride it as long as I can. Old age and poverty permitting.. Neil.

Don't ask me how I know. The new SHO's don't have Yamaha engines though.
Rockdoc Posted March 7, 2011 #12 Posted March 7, 2011 Hey old miner Any idea what happened to the UK Venture Club website? I know they suffered a tragic loss but is it back up? Sorry to hijack the thread but I see and hear of so few UK RSV riders.
