Yuk. Never liked that type of frame and actually like that they did not go that route on the original aluminum frame they did. Those frames just make it a PITA to work on. Bike is kinda ugly IMHO. Other than huskys Yamaha is about the only brand I buy (new) or at least used to. Yuk. BTW, there are spy shots of the new yamaha motor they are working on where the head is flipped 180 like the cannondale. Patents are for all to see. Looks interesting.
I really like Yamahas,,,, but now it has morphed into the standard Japanese MX machine,,,HONKAWYAMSUZ. I bet its a good machine,,,but it just lost some of its brand soul,,,,,just a morphed clone of the others,,,,,
