Yamaha literally has god tier engineers, they tuned the LFA exhaust for Toyota/Lexus to sound musical, and figured out how to make normal wood sound like wood that's been aged for hundreds of years that other high end piano makers use in their $100k+ pianos

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I think the LFA sounds like trash, it's way too high pitched. The stock R8 v10 sounds better imo

[@tomtemple69]

@@Daniel-dj7fh lol u might need your ears checked the lexus LFA revs so fast, an analog tach is too slow so they had to make it digital

[@Ottienger]

I'm sure Yamaha has done a few other engines with manufacturers. I'm sure they did the head/intakes for the old V8 Ford Taurus SHO in the early 90s

[@CraneArmy]

@@Daniel-dj7fh theres a reason LFA's cost 50% more than they did 10 years ago and r8's from 10 years ago cost 50% less. the r8 is a german sportscar dressed like a supercar. its a 911 without the pedigree, or a marked up corvette/r35 in inoffensive executive trim.

[@iskinmind7020]

If anyone is looking for a used FJR 1300, most reliable and trouble free models were made between 2008 and 2012. On the 2008 model they sorted out their gearbox to be fool proof (it helps since you never know how it was abused by a previous owner and it was a bit of a soft spot before that). Generator, wiring, radiator and cooling issues were sorted just before that. But after 2012 they went for restyling and started jamming more and more electronics into it. If you want to be able to fix almost everything yourself in the very unlikely scenario when something goes wrong - 2008 to 2012 production years are ideal. Later models require competent mechanics at your local Yamaha dealer.

[@BarbendLabs]

No MT-10?! I just got a 23 MT-10 two months ago and can say it is worth every penny!!

MT-07 was my driving school bike so i`m familiar with it, not only learned how to drive but passed the exam one one too. Apart from riding couple of mopeds many years ago (without license) the MT-07 was my first proper bike that i drove for the first time, the driving school just handed me this and somehow a total noob like me managed to survive the first driving lesson on this "big" bike.

[@cannistershot2277]

Wow, my MSF BRC course had Yamaha TW200s and Kawasaki 125s. MT-07 is pretty powerful for noobs. Bet it was fun though!

@@cannistershot2277 In Europe where i live there are several tiers of MC license divided by age barrier and performance. By the time i took a motorcycle license i was old enough to apply for the highest one, i did and the school gave me the MT-07.

Impossible to find a better crankshaft. A glorious piece of metaphysical engineering, I love my '16 TechBlack, keeping it forever.

Have been on my zx6r since 2007 and just recently got my 2023 mt09, loving the torque.

[@Xwii610]

I have a 2022 MT09 and I love it. Such a fun bike, with a bunch of tech. I really enjoy the usable power, and the cp3 sound.

Yamaha have so many awesome bikes. My two personal favorites are the XVS1100 V-star/Dragstar Custom (not the classic) As it's a really fun and "lightweight" Cruiser that can handle corners. And the other one is the tallboy Tracer 9 GT. As I'm to tall and big for any of the sportbikes or naked bikes I have to go to the sports tourers - And that's where the Tracer 9 shines like a big red diamond in the Motorcycle market.

[@CelticArmory]

I have an 82 XJ650 and a 2012 FJR1300. Love both of them, though haven't rode the XJ in a very long time. One day it will become a bobber. The FJR was worth every penny.

I remember that my father had an FJR1200 from the early 2000's and coming back from the Valencia GP in 2006 we were passing the guys on their GSXR's, ZXR's, CBR's, R1's and whatnot like if we were changing channels while watching TV. I also remember seeing the faces of those guys looking so tired and their backs hurting while my father and I would be sitting comfortably and barely affected by the wind. I'm also quite sure that as soon as I have the money I will replace my Ninja 400 with an MT07 or MT09 (or maybe the XSR900). Yamaha is also my favorite brand!
