Accurate information needed
[edit]Browsing through official Yamaha specs for the bike, it's coming clear that they can't even define their bike int the 3D space.
Owners of the actual models should measure as much data as possible to publish legit information.

Examples
[edit]- Overall width should be specified. Mirrors folded or open? From blinker to blinker? Or mirror to mirror? - I think the widest non-foldable part of the bike should be specified, like the front blinker or the clip-on width.
- Wheelbase on motorcycles is variable due to the rear wheel. - Therefore, the corresponding data should be a range rather than a number. At least it should be defined if it's the shortest or the longest setting.
Citations needed
[edit]I don't see the need for additional references. All the specs are plucked straight from the yamaha official page, which has its link already. Dr Vr (talk) 21:54, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Motorcycle manufacturers claimed engine output and weight, while better than nothing, have little credibility. The text of the article, such as that it is learner legal in the UK, is not verified on the official page. And even if it were neither the horsepower nor the text, no article should be based entirely on manufacturer's marketing materials; ideally two or more book, magazine, or newspaper articles should be cited.
