Don’t let the name fool you, this is a 144” Phazer with a two-up seat! And, a Rip Saw 1.25” track as well! Yamaha knew there would be riders asking for a two-up version of their new Phazer, so they did it right out of the gate. This models... Read more

Once again, Yamaha responded to consumer and dealer requests for an additional model with more features than the base model. So, in addition to the RS Venture we now have the new-for-2007 RS Venture GT. You guessed it, the “GT” designation adds GYT-R dual clicker front shocks and a... Read more

The windshield... Read more

Yamaha indicates the base Phazer ($6,399) is aimed more at younger, rough trail riders, where the Phazer GT ($7,199) is more aimed at Trail Performance, thus the “GT”, or “groomed trail designation” and comfort-tuned suspensions. The most obvious difference between the two are the shocks; the base Phazer has... Read more
