This is a strange new bike from Yamaha, looks cool.

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

I don't want one of these, but I wonder if two front tires last twice as long as singles?

Then I wonder if one wears faster than the other (likely the left), and you end up with one new and one 2/3 shot tire, and how that handles?

I'll never know.

There's full days riding in the rain when one of those might have felt better safety-wise.



You'd think braking would have to be greatly improved.

Now that just looks weird!  I don't care for it.
