800cc Yamaha still to be named.
A Factory Yamaha Team spokesperson has told Crash.net that the new 800cc Yamaha, to be raced from the 2007 MotoGP season onwards, is still to be given a confirmed name.
The identity of the 990cc YZR-M1's replacement will be announced when the bike is officially launched in the new year.
The most obvious choice, given the names of Yamaha's production based machines, would be the 'YZR-M8', but why not list your own idea(s) in the Crash.net forum by clicking on the link below...

Former five-times MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi and Texan team-mate Colin Edwards have both been re-signed to race the new 800cc Yamaha next season, but 2006 title sponsor Camel is yet to be confirmed.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
