What is cooler than a V4! What a great bike! Did you remove the wind shield?
Congrats and safe rides!

womper: yes it is huge, it has a extra 100kg than the m50
but the weight is low in the bike but i do feel the weight when cornering slowly but to ride it, it is smooth and i dont feel much of the 350kg

elvis: the windscreen clips on and off, over here yamaha call them convertables because the screen and the back rest clip on and off which is cool it's like having two bikes in one


all in all i love the look and yes i do miss the m50 but the wife wouldn't let me have two bikes so i hope the yamaha is as trouble free as the suzuki?

Very nice, that's one of the bikes I'm looking at for a cruiser upgrade whenever I decide to go that route.

If they make a fuel injected version I'll probably be sold.

Thought they were FI'ed but yes they're really carbed, kind of disappointing.
