WTP, you've got one of those Yamahas in the shed? How does it handle? It looks seriously heavy, and built to withstand a lot of abuse.

Yamaha Delevelopment Guy 2: Bicycle? But we make motorcycles.
Yamaha Delevelopment Guy 1: Yea, but look at the market...parent won't buy the kid a motorcycle, but WILL buy a bicycle.
Yamaha Delevelopment Guy 2: But what do WE know about bicycles?
Yamaha Delevelopment Guy 1: Nothing...lets use a motorcycle frame and suspension, because every kid WANTS suspension for that true motorcycle feel, and modify it! Add some pedals, and we are good to go!
Yamaha Delevelopment Guy 2: That sound like a swell idea!

...hence the 70# frame!

...or something like that
