Well, they're saying it's got a crossplane crank.
It's a 120 degree crank, like Yamaha had in the XS750/850 triple, and like most everybody did in I3 engines.

mmm, there's my recommended daily dose of manufacturer marketing clap trap.
"more power than a speed triple" yes, well, it is 175cc bigger pal, it should make more power.
"cross plane crank" how else do you make a triple? oh, that's right, lets make a one up two down like the laverda jota. it'll only vibrate to bits.
really, does anyone believe that sort of blatently obvious marketing bullshit.

First thing I thought when I saw that earlier today was, "Wow, a new version of the ratty XS750 cluttering my shop."

Triumphs were never "pretty" bikes so it's never been part of the draw, but the Yamaha is just weird.

They are both fugly.
When will manufacturers outside of Italy start making bikes that look attractive? Maybe never. It might not be in their consciousness.

I think this replaces the FZ8, hence the FZ9 moniker
