Mike D has it right. As for “j” you may want to do a quick once over of the products you own since I can pretty much guarantee they’re not “made in the USA” get over it.

Yamaha and Toyota have had long standing relations, with Yamaha very much involved with the design of their multi valve cylinder heads, so it figures Toyota will go play with a Yamaha. Awesome concept, and I’d love to see one as a supermotard. Should be absolutely awesome!
