I must be insane, but I checked out the US Patent Office online and the reference on the drawing does refer to a genuine Yamaha application for a patent (refers to a specific improved design of exhaust system). If you read the description of the bike in the application it certainly sounds something like an XT660?

It may well be a load of bull, then again it might not, its just a rumour...
