I am not paid by Yamaha to ask this question, neither do I care whether they are tracking this thread or not! My question was out of pure curioisty. I just wanted to know how much would a person be willing to shell out for a bike like that. From my academic background, I have always been interested in such kinds of thought process, so my question was a genuine, honest question. And pricing is not always cost+! Very often market dynamics dictate what it can be! So you never know. Yamaha may not have decided the pricing as yet?

Which I doubt will be the case. > Many of the experienced riders here have proclaimed that they have been beaten in traffic by girls riding on their Scootys, Ki-Hos or Activas. Does that mean they are better skilled "riders"? Aren't bikes being ridden by members here much more powerful than those piddly scooter(ettes)?
