FZ-09 MT DM-850 Concept

Found this on Asphalt and Rubber's website. I like the concept a lot better than the FZ-09/MT09 naked currently coming out for 2014.

Really like that! Kinda goes against the whole small gas tank thing, but it looks great.

Meh, not much on that concept. Maybe if I could see more of it, but from the side, I don't like it. I prefer the FZ-09 better. I guess we will never know...

The three-cylinder motor is also reported to be quite innovative, featuring both a balancer shaft and a crossplane crank, leading to a smooth 0º, 240º and 480º firing order. Different length intakes are used for each cylinder and the throttles are ride-by-wire, meaning the MT-09 features three switchable engine maps. :/

I like the look of it. But was the tank size increased by 50%? The wheelbase increased? And wheel sizes? A comfy pillion seat? Then you might be getting near a TDM, and it would be great, especially at a price below £7k in UK (as at present).
