Yeh.....get some use out of the Yam for a while!
And as it is the weather is probably going to take a turn for the worse there soon. so you may not get much chance to ride a new one now!
@Slowlycatchymonkey, @Skippy, and @Grasshopper's Ride can tell you about RE's.......they're not my sort of thing.
I know I'm a bit biased but you should take a look at a Honda CB500X.
I went down in size to get one and I find it great! 80+ mpg!
Sometimes you just know that a bike is not a good fit for you.
In cases like that it's got to go. I had a similar experience with a TDM900 about 20 years ago. Nothing wrong with the bike, it was just not a good match for me.
What alternatives did you have in mind? And what sort of riding do you do? Shorter runs or touring?
