For all of my brothers who love ridin, I was flipping through a 4wd Toyota mag last night and I stumbled accross a 450 that Toyota is planning on putting into prodution (concept only rite now). I was a little dissapointed that they were basing it on a Yamaha powerplant and not a Kawie, but I guess I'm guna have to add it to my stable anyway! Thanks Toyota for moving forward!!!! Check it out

IMO...Thats dumb. I have always appreciated Toyota's focus on cars and trucks. I look at Honda and there's generators, jets, cars, bikes,....etc. It's just easy to look at a company that does one thing well and think, "Okay they've got a good thing".

Thanks...A LOT...I've been in the market for a new bike for the last couple of months scratching my head on what to get and now you have to go and throw a monkey wrentch into my head......:crazy3d:

A Tundra "MX" edition with one of those included in the bed of the truck would be badass. Even though my KX would probably smoke it.

Now there is a 4 stroke I would consider giving up my old CR500R smoker for. There is nothing like the punch of a 2 stroke open classer, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth.:sad3d:

Toyota and Yamaha have collaborating on projects, designs ,and producing parts for a very long time. Yamaha frequently designs and/or produces cylinder heads for them... started doing that back in the 60's with the 2000gt...

It's not the bike, it's the rider. Bubba Stewart won on a Kawi and is now (until he got hurt in Phoenix a couple weeks back) winning on a Yamaha. Ricky Carmichael dominated on 3 different brands. And I highly doubt the bike in the link will ever make it's way to a showroom floor. It does look sick though........

I And I highly doubt the bike in the link will ever make it's way to a showroom floor.

The way the article was written was a little weird to. How do you start with a Yamaha, and call it a Toyota. I highly doubt Toyota will ever make bikes.

It's a cool bike. I saw it here in SF at Supercross and it is pretty crazy looking. I'm sure if it ever went into production it would be in the $15000 range. The disc brakes had carved out little Toyota signs, and in the front where the radiator is are two turbine intake ports. The oil I believe runs through that funky looking thing. Here's some pics i got! I love to rip on that thing out in Jawbone!!:tu:

 

[MrSlug]

I doubt that bike could take real thrashing doing single track. Nice looking, but not very practical. I think I will keep my CRF.

 

[NickBrewer]

Toyota owns a pretty good stake in Yamaha and has for several years now....

 

[Steady Hawkin]

The artice I read in the Jan/Feb issue of 4wd Toyota owner said its going to be put into prodution, but didnt say when or how much. But who knows what will happen.

 

[rjfrider]

KTMs should go into the back of Tundras - unless you just have a 2wd going to the track. If you're going off road on the trails - Rampart, Moab, Crested Butte, better put a KTM in back. rider

Cycle News | JGR Toyota Concept Bike

"Is Toyota developing a motocross bike? Well, the short answer to that is, 'No.' But what has everyone talking is the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota MX Concept Bike. Built exclusively for the 2009 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show, the JGR/Toyota Concept Bike is based on a 2009 Yamaha YZ450F and features some very unique modifications. Check out photos of the concept bike, engineered by the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota NASCAR group and sporting an array of specialty aftermarket accessories."

the clutch cover looks rediculous! is this a game of "plaster your logo every place possible"? i do, however, really like the black wheels with red spokes.

im sure it will have a 10k price tag
