Yamaha Europe has released this video called “The Dark Side Of Japan“ to tease a new model that will be unveiled on June 11, 2013 at 3pm CET.
Like all teaser videos – and this one is done very well – it reveals no details about the upcoming model, only boasting that it is a “brutal animal” that will “change the sport motorcycle world.
”Here’s the blurb that accompanies the video:While some onlookers may see Japan just as a traditional and respectful society where conformity is the norm, behind this stereotypical image lies a vibrant sub-culture where new fashions and ideas are constantly emerging.
From the spectacle of drift racing through to the insanity of Japanese speedway, the other side of Japanese society has been responsible for some wild and wonderful trends.
The same creative forces that drive the darker and unconventional side of Japan now have created a new kind of brutal animal, which is about to change the sport motorcycle world.
Many believe that this new model could feature the new three-cylinder crossplane crankshaft engine, whose concept was revealed last October during the 2012 Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.
