2008 Yamaha Supermoto Bike?
This bike was spotted at this Year's Tokyo Japanese Motorcycle show. Yamaha had two street-legal WR250R and X motorcycles set up for dirt and supermoto. The report on motorcyclenews.com stated the engine was a dual overhead cam engine and not the traditional 5-valve head we have seen since the first YZ250F.
Like most cool bikes in the world it will probably not see the light of day outside of Japan or at least not in America. The American market is waiting for a WR450X street legal supermoto bike or event something even larger. But you never know and this could be a 2008 model in the states.

very nice. you'd think with all the supermoto schools opening up in the US and with guys like Ben Bostrom, Mike Metzger and all the other ex road racers competing they'd see the market. As of right now you can get all the european bikes/MOTARDS here in North America but only one Japanese offering with the DRZ 400SM I'm sure in the next couple of years we'll see more from the Japanese .
