>When Yamaha introduced its new three-
P45
cylinder Crossplane Concept Bike at the
Intermot Motorcycle Show last October, it said,
"With its clean torque output, this advanced new,
light, slim and compact three-cylinder engine will
shape Yamaha's future motorcycle lineup." Eight
months later, the first of what we presume will be
more triple-powered street bikes to come down
the pike from the company has been revealed.
And it's the all-new FZ-09, which will supersede
the FZ8 in Yamaha's lineup. Could there be a
triple version of the FZ1 on the horizon?
