    I can proudly say I own one of these. But mine was bored out to the max and it’s insane to ride. No joke you can sit on the gas tank and it will still ride wheelies. Long live Yamaha power :)

I dont think I ever sat on the seat, as i was always standing and leaning up over the handlebars!; whenever I would let somebody who could RIDE a bike, they would beat everything!!! around!!! ; I couldn't handle that bike; it beat me up; I only had it for just one summer; I sold that abusive SOB, but WOW! The POWER!!
