I just find it interesting that I have seen so many YAMAHA's bought on spec lately. Are we all kool aid drinking fan boys now..

This brand of Kool Aid doesn't have the issues that German brand has so I feel completely confident in the choice. I'm just glad to be back on the tuning fork after having raced it for so long in the 80's and 90's.

I must admit the XS series had me almost trading up Back then. Do I want to re live my youth and finally get a YAMAHA triple?? Probably not..

But I am mighty glad to see them back... ;D

...are those wheels "blue"..?

An FZ-09 in the USA at $7,990 MSRP...Replacing the Yamaha FZ8 and 53 lbs lighter. WTF!! YAMAHA has had a brain hemorrhage..

It's got V-Max bits - variable-length intake funnels. No it doesn't. That should read "Varied" length

I KNEW you were only kidding about getting one of those little Honda Gizmos (or whatever they call them!). The new thing looks like fun! And holy crap that's a good price. I'd have one myself I think, in "different circumstances"...

They seem to think it's greater than 500cc so it'll prolly be a rival for the Kwaker ER-6. If it's anything like the old TRX 850 or the TDM motor it'll be something pretty reasonable.
