Virtually noone buys 990As anyway... and they are a derivative of a whole range of other bikes KTM already make (and are over �11,000 now anyway)

Yamaha are never going to invest in the development of bike that at best would sell a few hundred units a year...

Perhaps if they had just revamped the TDM they could have done it on a budget - but then it would always be considered 'soft' compared to the KTM...

If you really want a 990, just buy a 990...?!

ps. I agree that Mr Photoshop in the video link did a nice job... however, If they had built something like that (ie basic and rugged) I feel it wouldn't have compared favorably in the GSA market, and would simply be seen as an expensive version of the 660Z?
