Condor Posted October 31, 2017 #1 Posted October 31, 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
CaseyJ955 Posted October 31, 2017 #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?
BlueSky Posted October 31, 2017 #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???

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?
Sailor Posted November 1, 2017 #7 Posted November 1, 2017 Who the heck would buy one of those? I use my pickup to haul firewood, top soil, gravel, furniture, etc. Where the heck is Yamaha going?
