To be fair, I like the bike. Also, I think we should cut Yamaha a bit of slack here, it wasn't all that long ago, that people were bemoaing the lack of motorbike ads, well, here's 1.

Again, why wouldn't you target the add, for the audience you're going for, afterall, I doubt you'd find Miller & Carter advertising at a vegan festival !!

Personally, for me the add is a bit meh, but, like I said, the bike I like the look of..

OK it's a decent looking bike, or there is one rather hidden in the Shell of an mediocre cruiser.

80bhp+ from an LC engine as Arry said would make it better VFM as it stands, but more Ohlins, less rake on the forks and a fucking tiny loud exhaust wouldn't hurt it either.

But as Stinkwheel said all it really needs is a TZ750 engine and four bashed in chambers made to fit and not scrape the floor on every bend.

Yamaha has TZ750 tooling, it shouldn't cost them a big engine budget to knock out a few more for this bike?

One turn of the crankshaft, and the planet will die. Never gonna happen. Let it go. Besides, I wouldn't trust the vast majority of road riders with an engine like that, self included.
