Yamaha comes with a good compromise between a low seat height and still making space for a bigger people. The Zeal feels and acts like an all-rounder. Given plenty of revs (about 6000) the bike gets away from the lights well. It will hold 100-plus speeds happily and runs out of puff around 140kmh. You need 4000rpm up to get usable power, 7000rpm to hold 100 in top, and the powerplant signs off at 11,500rpm. There are a couple of dips and rises in the power delivery along the way. | |||
