Seems fitting lol
People need to get a grip
China = Country in Asia
Chinese people = Just the same as you or I or any other person in the world. Some good, some bad, some A-holes, but I would gather that most are good people just trying to make a good life for themselves and their family.
Communist Chinese Government = Full of A-holes that lie to the world hate the United States and will kill their own to squash a revolt or their lies getting out.
Rather this discussion be about the potential greatest off road bike ever.
The Shop
Want both? Buy a Sherco 300f FE... Based on the RM250 chassis but with a pumped up 250f motor, KYB suspension and Brembo brakes... That bike is made of something special!!!
I got my ass kicked, but it was more due to my lack of skill and conditioning than anything. I thought the bike did pretty good though.
A 350 would be cool, but If they threw in a Rekluse in the 450X I'd be all in.
"Sir, the whole automotive sector is in shambles because stupid EU eco-CO2-restriction and our bike sales are also dropping while the world-wide economy is traveling towards the shitter."
Yamaha CEO:
*starts playing on their smallest Yamaha violin*
Yamaha HQ secretary:
"Oh and sir, some Vitard demanded you put millions of dollars into tooling, engineering and manufacturing brand new YZ 350 F or ... and i quote.."no balls." " *starts to sweat profusely*
Yamaha CEO:
*angry violin scratch* HE DID WHAT?!
250FX and possibly a better bike for offroad.
Pit Row
250: fun to ride because you can throw it around, rev to the moon
450: learn to tame the beast, ride a gear high, be smooth like Roczen
350: doesn't handle as well as the 250, but you don't have the power of the 450
As someone with 20 + years in the automotive tooling field I am well qualified to tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about. Ever hear of parts bin engineering? Most likely they could do it without much capital expenditure, my guess is they think it would cannibalize sales from the 250 or 450 and not generate conquest sales.
If it was just the cost of building it Yamaha would have a 350 and KTM wouldn't.
What I'd love to see, is them get a jump / jump over the European manufacturers, and, of course, the other Japanese mfrs, and make a 350 / 400 / 450 2t. Somewhere in that range. With a preference for the 350 /400 side of it.
Something truly different, that's not just a squared up 250 2T (to make a '300').
That would be something special. That, would outsell a 350 4t, I reckon.
It's Not going to happen. But of course, a 350 4T isn't going to happen, either.
Post a reply to: Yamaha - Please make YZ350FX
