The "secret" is outa the bag. Shhh.... don't tell

Power stearing and more HP is fine but what I'am looking for is a WARMER sled to ride. My 06 Rage is the coldest Yamaha I have ever riden. Every manufacture build the same style where the rider sits on top of the sled and frezzes his #$% off. I have seen more make shift windsheilds ever. Guys putting together windshields to keep the air off them.

I guess sled is for you then

I don't know. I read the motor feels smoother and faster, steering and handling are a 100% improvement, and yes, the machine IS warmer. New hand-warmers that work and a redesigned windshield.

Great. More gadgetry, more complexity, more weight & no improvement in handling. Sad.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR OR READ THAT??? NOT ON THIS SITE. So far, every single report I read, either from the riders here or from the magazine guys that rode it said it HANDLED way better, the power steering "GADGET" felt great, noticeably LIGHTER, more POWER, a lot WARMER. That sure doesn't sound SAD to me. Sounds like a definite IMPROVEMENT to me.
Sorry about the sounding off, it's just when there are countless articles written about how improved this new machine is, then someone who obviously didn't read any says that they basically made it worse, it just makes me wonder. If you don't want to believe any of the riders in this site, just start listening to the magazine editors reviews.
