Funny enough I sat on one at the London NEC motorcycle show a few weeks ago. I am a fan of the looks in the photos, but in real life, it's just not as good looking. Might have something to do with the build of the bike overall and it definately wasn't as comfortable to sit on as the Triumph Bonneville is. But it looks like Yamaha has a lot of accessories for it (about 20 different tanks in different colours) plus it's a 800cc, much better than the 650cc in the previous version.

Overall, I'd like it to come to North America, it would be a good addition.

It's pretty cool that Yamaha has expanded in to making accessories for Kawasakis now.... :P
