But we were expecting more from Yamaha! The dullness of the engine is disappointing and the lack of dual-channel ABS is just beyond any reasoning with this performance on tap. As for goodies such as a quick-shifter and traction control, they should have been offered as part of a premium variant.

In its version 3.0 guise, it has become sharper and more focused, making it great for sport riding or trac enthusiasts.
