Yamaha DT-07 Dirt Tracker Concept - AIMExpo 2015
28 West South Street, Orlando, Florida, United States
Ever looked at the Yamaha FZ-07 and thought “that would make an awesome dirt tracker”? Well, so did the boffins at Yamaha.
Yamaha DT-07 - Unveiling
Dear Yamaha. Please release this DT-07

Starting with just the engine and the fuel tank covers, they’ve turned their street bike into the kind of weapon that they hope will lead dirt-track packs in the near future.

The shortened wheelbase posed a challenge, but somehow they still managed to include a linkage suspension and ultimately lead to a complete new frame. Along with pretty much everything else.

The end result simply simmers with sexiness in it’s Yamaha Yellow 60th anniversary trim.

At this point, it’s a shame it’s just a concept, but it’s one that you have think may just make it to the production line. Stick a front brake on it and some (very modest lights) and I think this would sell in some pretty decent numbers.

@Octane - there's always one bike you regret giving up. In my case, it was my XJ900F. Completely customized as a muscle bike. I'm sure it looked like crap but as I don't have any photos, I cannot remember any more.
Either way, it was my first "real" bike and I thought it was awesome
I'd love to have one. Bought a FZ09 in yellow back in 2015, one of the coolest bikes I ever owned. Wish I hasn't traded it in...smh
Make it more of a Scrambler then go toe to toe with Triumph and Ducati. It's there, I can see it...c'mon Yamaha, do it!
