> [@smokeyburnouts](#): > > true, but technology doesnt hurt. 4lb lighter frame, 4lb lighter engine, 1lb lighter swingarm, i think i’ll be alittle faster on this thing. yeah you will be faster if your comfortable on it. the new yamaha’s feel more slim like a suzuki IMO ---

ya, it does feel alot different than all the other yamahas ive had in the past…just sitting on it. im sure itll have the light, flickable feel that i love about thee newest gen suzukis out on the track. it still feels abit more cramped than the rm tho. i’ll give a full report after i ride it…or u can just take it for a spin to see what u think. ---

> [@eurodad](#): > > i thought the new one are more roomy than previous years. i always felt hondas and yamahas were cramped. the 05 yamahas felt alittle more roomy its def got more room than the previous styled yzs, but still not as much as the rms…the bar position feels weird compared to the RM too. i guess u just gotta see in person, hard to explain. ---
