A brilliant day-in-the-life video from Yamaha, featuring the Yamaha MotoGP racers.

Thanks to Big Bob for pointing this one out.

Discovery Turbo has launched Twist the Throttle. It’s awesome stuff. There’s more than four hours of video here as father/son team Milt and Dylan Weiss explore eight famous motorcycle brands.

The show looks inside each marque, covering its history, looking at how the bikes are designed and built, and then taking them for rides in some awe-inspiring locations. The high-definition video looks gorgeous and the Weiss’ commentary is spot on. I love this show.

Will we see a Yamaha Ténéré for 2008? Some people seem to think so.

I’ve only seen a couple mentions of this so far. Yet another big dual sport for those of us in the United States to dream of wistfully. Anyone think there’s any chance of this making it to the U.S.?
