If you hit the lottery here's a 270 phased Yamabeamer that looks like fun.

Thats a real nice bike a new source for spoke wheels I would buy one in a heart beat a reason for me to get a job.

Shaft drive... won't help much for wheel swaps.

Travis didn't notice the shaft drive saw the spokes and and clicked on the front wheel. I like the 3 power level throttle control so the horse power don't kill me. I would be a source for a front wheel maybe.

How much power does it have? I would really like to ride one.

 

[scabber]

Not sure but more than I would need. It is more of adventure tourer than sport bike traction control for dirt roads. 60 plus mpg 6gallon tank adventure type bags. Seems like a real nice safety orientated bike abs brakes. All the bike mags. test riders gave it any bad revieus usually they have something they don't like about the bike but this is a bike add.

I've always wanted a GS, but this Yamaha costs way less and looks like it would have that endless throttle just like the beamer. New competition for the one ton BMW.

Better options to the BMW GS are http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/195/2595/Motorcycle-Article/2009-Moto-Guzzi-Stelvio-Review.aspx and this http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/motorcycles/range/adventure/10280

I don't think i would buy a Guzzi for that...Triumph yes.

My budget based Versys is a great alternative to. 650cc parallel twin. 65hp.
