The thread should be titled "why i started riding a YAMACAT". All of this discussion about sidewinders and no mention of the king cat, when they are the exact same machine with different colors. Granted there may be small differences, but nothing that makes a bit of difference.
They have already bailed completely. I find it fascinating that people still can't come to terms with this fact. When you don't make your own chassis, you have no real interest in the market. This hole thread is centered around weight which is a direct result of the chassis. And without a chassis, yamaha has no real hand in the pot as far as this discussion is concerned.
Yet, here we are 4 pages into a thread, it must be the off-season.
Yamaha could do better if they tried. Losing customers and dealer support because they are not remaining competitive could spur a revolution or cause them to bail out completely, who really knows?
