I was discussing this bike with a local Yamaha dealer and commented that still £5299 it represented terrible value compared to yamaha's own MT-07, let alone the many other great bikes out there.
I summed it up as "you just don't get a lot of motorcycle for your money, not at all".
Expecting him to disagree and defend it on some 'heritage waffle' I was surprised when he agreed, and said that was exactly what they'd told their Yamaha rep..
"It needs to be about a grand cheaper before it'll sell in any numbers"
And it does.
I would consider one if they were £4000 new, as it is I'll pass, and see if anyone gets bored of theirs in a few years and wants £3000 for it with minimal mileage.
How much is it in the Land of the Free?
