I must say wow I was looking for basic transportation and got a fun little scoot. The first few miles seemed a bit sluggish but I know 2 strokes take a bit more to break in than 4 strokes. I did the dual headlight mod within the first few days. After about 300 miles the break in was coming along good. At 600 miles I changed the final drive oil. Then after 700 miles I did the throttle cam mod. At this point I also explored more then is required for the first service I pulled the pug and checked out the air filter. Now the zuma is getting up to 40 fairly easy tops out at the bottom of the speedo and climbs the hills better. It handles great on dry and wet roads and it even dose a fair job off road.

The only down sides I could find is the obvious only 2 choices for color.
It would also be nice if Yamaha offered some other part for it come on all you can get is a basket and windshield how about some of the nice parts you can get in Canada like the rally kit or the headlight guards from asia which wont fit our zumas they have smaller headlights. A braided stainless front break line would be nice also.
