Red was the full powah 94 bhp version (I had one). Sounded sweet as a pussycat to 5500 revs, then it just howled. Most gratifying; the power curve was a straight line up to 11k.
I HAD IT FOR 16 YEARS , JUST SOLD IT IN 2021 . IT WAS A DREAM ,NEVER LET ME DOWN AND FUN WITH IT . WITH ALMOST ZERO MAINTENANCE EXCEPT FOR THE CHANGE FO ,OIL , FILTERS, BRAKE PADS AND A COUPLE OF TYRES. 🎉 I JUST REGRET SELLING IT. LOOKING FOR A BEATY LIKE THIS. ❤
i had one. I'll never ride yamaha again because of this pile of junk. couldn't get spares. went through ignition coils. and is THE only fucking bike that even a universal pannier kit wouldn't fit. had it for five years, must have been off the road for two and a half of them with problems. no exaggeration. even the air hose at the garage wouldn't fit the back wheel because of the stupid design of the 'mags'!
