I respectfully take issue with the notion that Yamaha had limited or no "freedom of development" during their civil litigation time period. I would bet a trillion dollars they have been busy as beavers in development, and more than capable to bring much more to the table. They just chose not to. And just like Honda in the 83' federal consent decree, they have been neutered!
I make no claim this is to compete in the sport market, that is painfully obvious. But in the "utility" target market, they failed just as bad.
You can fluff all you want, stroke them and pet them, but the fact remains, this is a way under powered UTV in a competitive market. The 66% that allegedly claims this nitch market still wants a motor. And Yamaha does NOT deliver.
Truth hurts, and so will the consumers when they don't purchase this outdated, weak power plant.
The consumers aren't getting any perks to fluff this pig, nor will they buy it.
