With a strong history of innovation in almost half a century of motorcycle production, it would have seemed that the lead motorcycle for Yamaha's 2009 model year would have reflected the reality of the times. Perhaps a three wheeled dynamic-attitude scooter that seats four and runs on biodiesel, or a hybrid touring model, or a hydrogen fuel cell commuter, or even a fully electric plug in city bike. Those models would have not only made sense in the current market but would have been warmly welcomed by a growing portion of the motoring public who has grown weary of pumping $200 at a time into the gaping maw of their SUV's fuel tanks.

Ian, you are certainly far
Ian, you are certainly far better equipped to debate with me than the vast majority of commenters on here, thus I would like to reiterate that I do appreciate your measured tone and the way you make your points.Assicurazioni on line.It's very refreshing to have someone express an opinion counter to my own without having to resort to descriptions of how they would mutilate my genitals. I appreciate your comments, and since HubPages is based in a free country, you are more than welcome to them. The reason I have not yet approached the issue of high performance street automobiles is that I'm preparing a series of Hubs on that issue... however I can give you a sneak peek of my opinion: No VEHICLE that is capable of such outrageous speed needs to share the public highways with innocent motorists. And also note that among my stable of cars I have proudly owned (and operated at outrageous speeds on public highways) I include Lotuses and Corvettes, including a 427 435 Horse 4 speed. But that was then and this is now, and in today's world, those supercars are as relevant as steam trains.
