It's another one of those bikes I just bored everyone about how good it was, and how if everyone bought one of these instead of being obsessed with style and getting an Yamaha YZF-R1 they can't control they'd all be better riders blah, blah blah.
But when all is said and done, it is still hand painted in the most ugly colors I ever seen, which is a bit like going our with a red headed bird, cos we all know the cuffs and collars match. Anyway, the Exup (Exhaust Ultimate Power valve) was so typically Yamaha I should have known it wasn't going to stand my imbecilic lofting techniques even after a decade of refinement. With a gear shift that feels like it's made out of dental amalgam, and a clutch basket that sounds like its full of broken Chinaware, the Exup and indeed the whole Yamaha range has always been the most frail of 4-stroke engines.
