We’re really digging the FZ-07/FZ-09 based concepts from Oberdan Bezzi, if you haven’t noticed. It is probably because the FZ-09 is such an affordable, yet potent package, from Yamaha that it begs to be built-up and modded upon. We’ve already seen street tracker and world crosser concepts from Bezzi, and this “Triple Cross Over” design builds upon the same themes as before.
We already know that Yamaha has gotten the hint, and is expected to show a TDM-style version of the FZ-09/MT-09 at this year’s trade shows, but here is another design to whet our appetites and pique our imaginations.
The Triple Cross Over fills the gap left by the upcoming TDM model, and is more of a scrambler than an ADV bike. With Ducati coming out with its own take on the scrambler segment, it’s perhaps unsurprising to see the renewed interest in this space — that is, from the non-Pabst no-beard crowd.
Considering that the FZ-09 is supposed to be a lightweight, affordable, and basic street bike, the idea of making it into a scrambler sort of fits well with that ethos. It makes us wonder how long it will be before someone actually makes one these.
