This motorcycle doesn't need any mechanical or cosmetic upgrades. It is just amazing the way it comes out of the box. It has looks, performance, comfort, it�s quality built and the fuel injection is awesome.
I had been looking for a nice bike to replace my beloved previous bike for a few weeks. I went to many dealers around the central TX area. I took test drives on all kinds of bikes. They were all great bikes but all had something in common - the seat was painful in the groin area after about 30 minutes. This Yamaha was the very last bike I test drove and when I finished my 45 minute test drive I was just amazed on how nicely it handled and how strong and powerful this fuel injected 950 is. Wow, I was sold on this new Yamaha. This bike handles amazingly well on all speeds; from 15 mph to 100 mph you really don�t feel any difference. This machine is super stable and you don�t have to evade the bumps or potholes on the streets since you would not even feel them. The stock seat is super comfy.
I only have about 145 miles on it but I have only been with the bike one day. I am sure that before the end of this month I am going to be doing my first service since I really enjoy this bike very much. I am sure that if you are looking for a nice bike and do what I did - go for as many test drives as you can with all manufactures and leave the Yamaha 950 for last - you will really appreciate the difference like I did. You are going to settle on this one.
