I agree, for the price it's a pretty good machine. I bought one for my girlfriend as well a few mos ago and only have a few things to complain about. The seat could be a lot softer, the tires could ride a lot smoother too, they need to use a softer riding radial tire to help cut down on the bounce over rocky terrain. It feels a little nose heavy, and leaves you feeling as though it's a little tippy when trying to negotiate tight turns in off camber situations. The clutching to use a little performance enhancing too, especially consideringt it's suppose to be a sport machine, a little more punch would be appreciated too. Lastly, I noticed after only a few rides, sticks have been kicked up where they hit the floor board supports too, this would be alright except on more than one occassion they have punched a hole through the floor board where the sticks are deflected upward after hitting the floor board support. Yamaha, Please put a softer rear tire on this machine that doesn't have the rear end bouncing pver rocks and obstacles.
