You are not wrong.
I think it's the fact that I have flat bars, and low mirrors that make it look beefy, as it lowers the height if the bike as compared to normal. Well that was the idea anyway.

thats the $20,000 dollar question.....The reality is that the size of the place makes the choices limited so they seem to act like they have you over a barrel....It doesn't inspire you to spend your hard earned

I was once told by a dealer that Oz only accounts for 4% of Yamaha sales worldwide

just a quick update on my recent 520 chain and sprocket conversion....after just under 2500 km's of touring to and from phillip island, 2 up, with a truck load of gear, with such short gearing, I must say that the Bike has never felt better...apart from the fact that sixth gear is no longer an overdrive gear, I never felt uncomfortable for a moment, if anything, the bike is better suited to touring 2 up with this gearing, as it pulls much harder from much lower revs, giving me the ability to overtake, and get decent power under load, without compromising things up top much.
