Last year Yamaha released their version of pure sport performance with the YXZ1000R. This machine brought a real sequential shift lever and foot operated clutch to the off road community for the first time in a SXS as well as speculation on how well it would be received.

We should have known Yamaha would have an answer waiting.

Attending a ride, rally, or jamboree is a great way to explore new terrain, make new friends, and to check out new parts from vendors.
