One of the items in my box BMW sent was a 3d paperweight of the R90S. Very Cool!Mike B said:
Yamaha letter
- Thread starter trinc4me
- Start date
Got mine to,blunt and to the point.
I'm not a big SWAG fan (most of the stuff I'm sure goes fairly quickly into the trash), but I thought the letter was rather cheesy. One page, unsigned, with some out of context quotes from early testers and that's about it. If you didn't get the letter, you're not missing much. Maybe there is more coming.
If you like SWAG, you should have been one of the BMW S1000RR pre-order customers. I must have gotten 10+ special delivery FedEx packages at my door, all hand-signed by the S1000RR's marketing manager with his personal cell number if you had any questions or comments. Included were reprints or full magazine back-issues of every review done on the bike, six or eight huge posters, stickers out the wazoo, DVD's, hand-signed stuff from the two gents racing the bike in WSBK, and not one, but two actual souvenir rocker arms from the bike's trick valvetrain, one designed as a necklace. (I showed the necklace to my wife and she informed me that it would be a cold day in hell before she wore than ugly piece of steel.) In any event, I filed away the reviews, kept the rockers, and everything else is.... where else, but the trash.
Open comment to Yamaha's US marketing department.... how about a cap or a t-shirt? You know, maybe something we can actually use? And advertise the product as we're out and about! Better yet, how about a coupon for 25% off coupon on an accessory or something? Then maybe some of us might consider your ridiculously-priced accessories.

i got it i got it, well, the letter that is!!!! Yeah, you are all right in wanting some stuff like s poster, hat or even a sticker.
Got my letter Friday for my bike ordered Oct 21st ;D
I got mine also. I didn't find it cheesy at all. At least they acknowledged by mail that our names are in the works.
I got mine on Saturday 12/4/2010
I'm having mine bronzed! 8)
I got the letter and my dealer scored the big vinyl banner for me too. I hung it carefully in the garage and look at it daily. Not sure it doesn't just make things worse since I still can't ride the thing. 
patience...............is...............a...................virtue............. :-\
Oh well, after two FJR's I've learned that the bike does eventually show up and it's always been worth it so far!

I wish they would have included an accessory catalog, so that you could start researching. The only accessories we have seen are forum sponsors. And so far theirs look the best. Yamaha has the packages on the website, but no details, enlargements, or specs.
Still no letter.... :-[
I think I ordered mine on Sept 4th..... :-\
