Yamaha introduces the new 700 and 550. There are a few things that impress me.
1. Finally an easier way to check and fill the oil. I don’t know why they thought it was ok to make me carry a nut driver to do this. Asinine. I am glad they finally listened.
2. Metal Screws instead of Plastic rivets. Again finally. Maybe Yamaha is starting to pay attention to its users.
3. Stiffer tires are needed for better control
Thanks Yamaha
