Erm. Can't interpret? Look at all (i mean, seriously, the cars are loaded) the cars the team drivers are running. People see all those parts. You must understand they will never release a kit that team drivers run, but they went the cheap way now. I mean (even though it's not final yet) plastic shocktowers? Plastic steering parts? That stuff didn't came standard on the YZ-2, they went premium on that car and look how it payed off: YZ-2 is doing fine worldwide. The only downside what they did with the YZ-2 is that they didn't make a lot of profit per kit. But yeah, they earn more on parts than on kits anyway. I guess they went the "cheap" way to get more money in. Come on, go a bit more premium and people will be more satisfied. As posted above, the K2 (not that i'm going to drive one, ill get myself a YZ4 anyway) is "much" more bang for buck out of the box.
If you compare the YZ-4 to the B-Max4 III, the B-Max4 III looks much better when you compare the parts.
I know, kit isn't final yet (Carbon towers wouldn't surprise me at all). But yes, some people are disappointed, maybe you are not, but you will max out your car anyway. Some people don't, some people want decent cars out of the box - I don't say the YZ-4 isn't decent. But you pay a fair amount of money, so yeah, some Alu would be fine. Just like the YZ-2.
