- An off-road, two-wheel drive motorcycle developed by Yamaha in 2003/2004 in conjunction with Ohlins for endurance racing purposes
- 15-30% of the drive is delivered to the front wheel via an Ohlins gear-driven hydraulic system

- Praised by riders, especially on loose terrain, demonstrated by David Fretigne who finished 7th overall with a class win in the 2004 Dakar Rally
- Produced for one year only, unfortunately the bike was hideously expensive and became a sales failure, now highly sought after by collectors

- Complete with a small history file containing an owners service manual, number plate, old MOT and some other paperwork
