From everything I've read, it's more likely Yamaha will make a mid-size ADV twin based on the FZ-07 motor, which I have to admit probably appeals to me even more than this Honda 1000. I also think if they price it right, Yamaha dealers will be flooded with KLR650 trade ins!
I have heard more in the way of a FZ07 based adv bike, but I want that triple. The FZ07 does make about 10 more hp and few lb ft of torque than the V-strom 650. That said, I don't think I'd be enticed enough to let go of my Strom for one of those. With the way Yamaha has been making some cool products, I would expect such a bike to be nothing less than a hit.
