Sketch proposal for the first generation Fazer 1000, 1998 - Sketch for the very first Fazer photoshopped on an FZR chassis . Interesting to see I'd badged it as an 1100 - this could have been deliberate misinformation from Yamaha to keep we freelancers in the dark. Date is 1998.
Proposal for the TDM 900, 1998
Published in Performance Bikes magazine (UK) in June 1989, this sketch was part of a series of advanced concepts for Yamaha during the GTS/Morpho II program. It was done very much in the style of Syd Mead, which is maybe why I left it unsigned. The flip-body idea would have worked well on the low Omega chassis and steering linkage system.

Yamaha production designs
Work completed as Chief Designer with Global Design bv, Amsterdam (now GK Design Europe) 1987-90, and later as an independent consultant. TDM850 & TDR125 were the most notable models. With the exception of the Italian-produced TDR, most designs were finalized by GK Design in Japan.
