CaseyJ955 Posted October 31, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2017 Its slick but I think a Tundra or F150 would be infinitely more practical. I wonder if we could shove an XVZ into it... Any word on how many of these may get produced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted October 31, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2017 The V4 is the most expensive to build of all the designs because of the DOHC twin heads. I4, I3, I2, & V-twin are all cheaper and that is what Yamaha went for. An I4 in the new Venture would have been okay with me. But, my opinion doesn't count. Hey, I saw a 2012 BMW K1600GTL for sale on the local craigslist for $1800. I think I'll send the money by paypal before someone else buys it! NOT! I did call the number listed and got an answering machine. I left no message. Later I got a text requesting my email so the guy who is selling it for his aunt can send more photos. I ignored the message and got another one a couple days later. This time I sent a text back telling the guy to find a sucker somewhere else.

Since it's been going around on CL for as long as I can remember they must get more than a few. I used to report them to CL, but I don't know if we can do that anymore???

mraf Posted November 1, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2017 But then they spent their time on this.... http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/10/25/yamaha-designed-pickup-truck-for-motorcycle-owners.html UG................. It has one of a kind styling,for a truck. Not for me but the younger crowd might suck it up. Who snuck in the kid to the development department of Yamaha?
