Agreed. Seems like Yami has evolved their own sense of style in the last few years. Still the "big beefy" but streamlined with a pretty distinctive style. Still wonder why they don't, given all the rage over the custom chopper scene, produce a factory chopper (contradiction in terms?). Something raked out and minimalist that has that OCC or West Coast flavor but sells in the $10,000 neighborhood. Retain the 1850 twin, FI and such but put it a frame and rake that is more "chopperesque". Kinda like they did in '84 with the Virago.
Wonder why they don't?
