Not only is Yamaha not in the game, they can't even find the ballpark. They "think" this is a sport unit, per there billing. R-spec? its so weak they are ashamed to even list the power rating.
I've owned and loved Yamaha products, but this SXS is a joke. I'm sure it will work well around a farm or putting along on a trail, but they should not bill it as a performance machine.
Meh on your comments. Without it even being available just yet, not sure how you can put it down without knowing much about it. Sure, its not a 1000cc PoPo or CanAm and it doesn't have the fancy plastics but it will probably do OK in the recreational segment.
I had initial shell shock at first but understand they are supposed to be coming out with a new model per year for the next few years. And, if they don't come out with something V-twin to compete in the 1000cc market, they are truly missing the boat.
Remember, Yamaha likes to maintain their reliability reputation so it seems risk is not at the top of their priority. I do hope they end up coming out with something full sport but can't agree with your comments in the quote.
