I used to sell photographic equipment. "Wasn't worth meeting the minimum order to buy new from Yamaha," could mean many things.
For example he may not have the credit to buy direct. Even if he does not buy direct from Yamaha, I would imagine he could work with a dealer who does. Since they do have serial numbers that could easily be traced to where it came from.

We do have a gas Yamaha that we bought new 2014. My opinion-the cost is simply outrageous. It is essentially a riding lawn mower. Annual service at The Villages Golf Cart-spark plug,
oil change (1 qt) and air filter is $100 there is no oil filter. Probably no need to change the air filter every year. Compare that cost to your car.
