What does the hive mind think of the Yoshimura RS3?

[Roper_imp]

I looked at one of the Yoshi's when I was searching for a little more volume. I just can't stomach the decal/plate whatever it is with the Japanese characters on it. If you could get a plain one I would've had one before I went another route.

Total derail here: That decal is some strange branding. Those characters are katakana--the Japanese phonetic alphabet used for the pronunciation of foreign words. Those four characters are YO SHI MU RA. Which is the very Japanese name of the company. Why use the Japanese alphabet for non-Japanese words to spell out a Japanese word? Strange branding, indeed. For the record, I don't like that logo, either. Back to your regularly scheduled program.
