Yamaha Corsario DV 600 -Concept Motorcycle

The Corsario is a naked bike with a Yamaha Diversion XJ engine with a 60 c.v. which is intended to lie half way between the single-cylinders of 650 c.c. (MT 03, Mulhacen, or Pegaso Strada) and the four-cylinders (Hornet, Fazer, GSR, etc.) with engines derived from the supersport.

It will be a motorcycle for people with no experience of the two wheelers and who look for something more economical and personal than the naked 600 but without relinquishing the smoothness, road relief and mechanical simplicity of an air cooled tetracylinder like that of the Diversion XJ.

A contained weight (due in part to a lighter sub chassis which is contemplated for a single person), prominent sporting geometries and an aesthetic adapted to the European taste distancing itself from those motorcycles which would a priori have been its only rivals, the Suzuki Bandit and SV 650.

TECHNICAL

The Corsario has a steel, double cradle frame with the engine suspended to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of it. The engine is secured to the chassis by its front part by two screwed on aluminium plates.

Increasing the rigidity has been sought after and this has been performed by means of a pyramid structure which takes the shock-absorber and a reinforcement of four crossed tubes which reach the steering head. At the union area with the axle of the rear swinging arm, small plates have been welded for the same purpose.

The rear swinging arm, also made from steel is fairly long (taking into account the 1400mm distance between the axles) thanks to the fact that the engine can be mounted well forward due to the fact that it does not require a radiator.

AESTHETIC

Aesthetically we searched for the characteristic simplicity of the naked and the aggressiveness of the streetfighter where all the visual weight is generally loaded on the front part of the motorcycle.

Inspired by the MT concept from Yamaha, classical aspects such as tubular chassis and the organic shapes of the tank are mixed with more modern styles such as the side fairings with integrated indicators or the single seater jutting out with the exhausts coming out below it.
