The yamaha uses hydraulic power, right? There is a company that has converted Hondas too..........http://www.christini.com/motorcycle.php

Ktm is messin around with them too. I do think it would be the ultimate woods bike, but we here in the USA will probably not see them in a long time .

I saw one at the outdoor show this year in Woodstock, Ontario. It was very cool indeed. We talked to the Yamaha representives about it, they said it was heavier (obviosly) but you couldn't feel the extra weight. It looked prety sweet too.
