I'm just looking over this stuff, again, and I'm wondering why Yamaha didn't do some of the things that Touratech have covered, the wide side stand, better footpegs, wider brake levers etc. It would only have added a few extra ��'s to the price, even at �100 it would still have been a good buy and well below all the other bikes in the class.

I do wonder sometimes, especially as they put some extra protection around the rear brake master cylinder and the crankcase (by the brake).

Oh well, I think my bike may grow some extra bits over the winter........
