You KNOW you are really :stirthepot::witch_brew::stickpoke: here dont cha Bay ??? Personally,, I hope Mom Yam see's this ....

 

This is gonna sound NUTS (well,, maybe not to you and a couple other lop eared V-4 lover varmints here in the family) but when ever I walk past one of the new SVTC's sitting on our local dealerships showroom floor (WOWZY are there some GREAT deals to be had now!! Mom Yam is taking serious action for cleaning out the left overs!!) it still SCREAMS at me that Mom Yam was in the process of REALLY turning the touring world upside down and inside out with the new bike before she somehow got side tracked and shuttered off those intakes and filled em with parts n pieces. IMHO, those outer air scoops sure look like air intakes needed to feed a mighty 1700cc V-4 with some xtra input room for radiators to keep er 180 hp engine cool. Even its evil smile SCREAMS = ya better not get in my way .. Truely brother,, I still cant help but think Mom Yam was actually fully aware of what they were abandoning when they dropped the V-4 and left the platform for others to pick up and run with ...

I guess you know by now Bay,, you ain't the only one is radically IN LOVE with the mighty V-4! Let er buck!!

I wrote Mathew, the writer of the article, of how he missed the Yamaha V4. Gave him the brief history so at least he now knows he needs to do a bit of research before he writes something like he did...

Heck with the V4... Bring on the V6... The width of an inline 3 with the depth of the V4... Hmmm?? Think V-Maximum..
