The off centre key hole is a god send if you use a quadlock

[@Stix_01]

so real

[@storiesofyonko]

For $12,499 MSRP you might as well get a new 636 😂

[@captainfreight5206]

This is meant to be quicker than the 636? Ain’t this meant provide a more torquey punch to compete against the Ducati v2 and street triples

[@Ohrbbie]

You get more electronics + great suspensions and breaks + more torque?

I must admit I have no dog in the fight as I’m not looking to drop down too a 900 but can see Yamaha made sense using this engine in a somewhat sportier frame … but will it gain new customers or simply split those that would have bought the MT09 anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️. Like I said earlier I wouldn’t be in the showroom but even in the car park I think I’d smile at the need for wings with 100bhp and wonder if Yamaha gave up when styling the headlight … not the prettiest kid on the block

For australians its 23.2k not worth it just kinda expensive. Spend a bit more and just get an R1. This is great for street over R1 but seems underpowered.

[@captainfreight5206]

Still better priced than cbr600, feel like it’s been this way for a while. People buying 1000s over 600s because it’s ain’t much more

[@itszarnzy]

1:08 you said r7 not r9 hihi

[@RickyMoto]

That exhaust system is trash what are you talking about saying it’s clean.

[@Dogsarebetter-07]

First 🙏

[@Joke89ful]

I don't like this designe of front light. Personal preference but yamaha is going wierd way.

[@RickyMoto]

i’d have to agree, i like the cleaner non winglet body then paired with aftermarket winglet looks better. kinda like how the r1m comes with winglets but its a separate piece rather than being molded to the body.

[@unk_GHOST]

So it’s a wannabe rs660..

[@captainfreight5206]

Nah it’s a wannabe v2
