DEAR YAMAHA
I want an electric BW80 to zip around the pits.
Imagine the ktm E5 plant into a BW80 frame using readily available BIG balloon wheels ( from 4 wheelers )
and said frame improved for 300lbs moto heads.
Wide seat for 2, Cup holders, Phone Holder, cooler holders,... and with choice of Damon Brashaw, Broc Glover, Mc Grath, ET deco ... yessss
we'll sign waivers so you are not responsible of what we do with said vehicle.

This and then only rich guys could afford them. The rest of us racers waited until feb or March until we got new models that way the bugs were all worked out by then.

a class action lawsuit is already being filed by several Vital members against Yamaha for their delayed release and I hope they take it as a sign not to cross us again with this b*llsn*t.

What’s happened to Vital with all the whineing and complaining lately. Never knew MXers to be such snowflakes

Why? Once corporate got out of the way and let Star handle the racing program, they have had a ton of success...

Between ET3 and DF14, I'd say their current platform is just fine lol.

100% truth but keep the sweet power characteristics of the 250.

My 15 YZ250FX pulled harder down low than my 21 350XCF. The 350 has way more up top, I just have to learn to ride it there.

Oh man...I'd buy one of those right now! I love my 450FX's, but a 350 is where its at for me.

I want a 350 so bad, but I can't make myself to buy some boutique brand, or a Austrian brand...

Amazing the product guys at Yamaha can't see the market for a 350. Heck a 300 would work too....
I suspect they pay attention to dogma vs look at what actually will sell.

Sad... heart breaking. (

What are the sales of the 350 at per year?

Given that a lot of times people tout it as KTMs best selling 4 Stroke, I'd guess a lot, so I'm also interested in a legitimate number / comparison of anyone has one.

For the sake of pretty much a top end and a couple hours of mapping, and how readily a tonne of people would buy a mid sized Yamaha, it is mind boggling that they don't want some of KTM's share.

Makes sense with all the snow flakes!! 350” why? 450 ain’t got enough pony. Chuck Norris and I ride 650’s and the powers just right!!!! All jokes aside … guys be modding out 450s so why go backwards. You need something less go ride a 250. I had a 250 and a 450 both got the works at procircuit. My 250 was fast enough and my 450 was amazing. Picky picky needing a 350

If we have YZ650F, guys would still be modding them. The problem is 450F are becoming too powerful and that is what pros are also saying. On SX track, there is not jump a 450F can't clear.
