Power. Handling. Braking. Fit and fare of the plastic. Extreme good looks of the machine....
Bad Points
A bit uncomfortable. Especially in traffic. It is very loud. This is a recent Yamaha traight on all of their bikes. Preety good heat coming from under the seat. Noticable at 80 mph on a 60 F deg day.
General Comments
This is my second Yamaha YFZ R1. My first one was a 1999. The new steering damper makes all of the difference in the world in handling for me! The '99 was squirlly when you hit hard throttle coming out of the corners. The 2005 is on a rail... Tires are a riders preference of course... For me, the Metzler ME Z3's went on IMMEDIATELY upon delivery of the bike. They are so much more stable for me. The bike stays wherever you put it in a corner. It is like a servo.... Perfect!

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?
