I do like this, and Yamaha is finding all sorts of uses for that new inline-3. But this isn't what I'd call retro. That there is a modern-looking bike, no matter how you slice it.
Reading through, I see they use the term "neo-retro", so maybe that hits the nail on the head, "new retro". At it's core, this is an FZ-09 with a round headlight, different fuel tank, and a different seat. The ergonomics look side-by-side the same. If they price it the same, in the early 8's, I think it'll do alright. It's not quite flooding their own market, but it sure is close.
