Blue it is for me as well (at least supposed to be - haven't seen her yet). Ought to match well with my 1995 R1100RS Battle of the Legends BMW and my 2010 B5 Blue Challenger. Need to get a pic of all three blue bombers lined up when I get her home tomorrrow.

Having a little problem with your spelling this morning are you?

I thought it was COLOUR up your way!!!

My spellchecker pointed that out, but I was in a defiant mood this morning. I guess I showed IT!!!! R

FINALLY! Picked up my bike this afternoon at D & H - Hate I missed DoctorJ as we were running behind. Jerald, Renaa and Nick were super and covered every aspect of the bike. Took a bit but I really feel like I know her inside and out. Taking care of the break-in (obviously) but did hit one knarly gravel road on the way home. Traction control did a fantastic job! She steers quick and I love the growl/groan/vibration she makes when you start to rev her up.

Congrats Wulfgar !!! I was pleasantly surprised by how thorough everyone was at D & H as well. Certainly a business model. Go a head and get it a little dirty. The Super Ten likes getting Dirty!!

To the guy who started this thread from the first bike delievered, CONGRADS. Enjoy your new ride!

P.S. I received my letter from Yamaha yesterday stating that the bikes are shipping to the dealers and I should be getting a call soon. ;D
Thank you. It was fun being able to leak the news. Got my letter the day after the bike came home, thought that was kind of funny.

Yay! Finally got back today from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, and picked up my Ténéré. 80 mile ride home, and got the first few farkles installed. More to do tomorrow.

Loving it! Great bike. Comfortable, feels light when I'm riding it. I think it's going to be a keeper!

That's way too much information for me. Ewwwww. I sure hope it's warmer there than here. Let's cover up a bit, and be careful out there. CONGRATS!! Have fun. R
