I heard Yamaha was gonna open the bore a bit and drop in a small block chevy piston. Ram air and a "shaker" air box cover as well.
and nitrous will be a factory option also....correct?

well lets hope, they don't change the styling, better engine would be good, but for what, its already awesome, chevy pistons wouldn't matter, it would probably make things worst, because from my experience, chevy is crap "nooo offense to chevy lovers out there" nitrous shouldn't be a factory option, just because its better just getting aftermarket nos anyway

Could you imagine what they could do with a DOHC 660 or 740 or something big like that. Take the Yammie 450 DOHC engine, make it 50% bigger, and WOW! But I doubt that will ever happen.

I would just be thrilled with EFI, and a bump in stock compression.
