[QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 143588, member: 23758"] I wish someone would publicly call a spade a spade and confront these manufactures with the BS stats they publish. How can they get away with inflated HP figures and dry weights they KNOW will be disproved as soon as someone throws a bike on a scale or dyno! I love hearing car comercials claim 240 HP from crapy 4 banger or 6 cyl cars. I would love to call Yamaha or Honda and ask em why the forces of gravity seem to be larger across the ocean than in Japan. As far as Yamaha reacting, no need really, Its taken about 5 years for anyone to react to what they have done. In the motorcycle world, thats and eternity. I am sure if they simply continue to do what they have with the 4 stroke inovation they will continue to dominate the class. I imagine they already have the next evolution waiting in the wings and are maximizing their efforts and profits with the YZF and WRF, kinda like PC chip makers :) , as their are few bikes that are able to hold a candle to them, especially with the price they sell them for and the fact that they are still selling more or less every one they make well before the next model year comes out. They for the moment at least seem to be in more of a position of pro-active rather than reactive. We all know this industry is a What have you done for me latley market though. And the consumer is always looking for the best buy on the best bike almost regardless of the manufacture. How many guys you know out there will be trading in their 01 YZ 426 for a 02 YZ 426? Probably alot, for no real good reason. How many guys you know out there already have deposites on Honda 450s they have never even seen much less ridden????? [/QUOTE]
