$18g's kinda hi but not unexpected
ABS + wire throttle + electroguage display... very cool
685 lbs... a little beefy, but assuming the 210+ hp rating is true... no problem
first deliveries in November 2008.. not so bad...

ultra cool bike

202+PS or 197+hps

OUCH!!! 18 GRAND hurts but I'm still in--I'm heading for the dealer today. Cool spec's. Wish I could have it sooner but I'll just have to ride my 88 til then.

Well the bike is definately SWEET!! I like all of the new features. I just don't know about 18K. It looks like I may have to wait a bit.

I would have to get a second job to pay for that. I wonder if Ebay needs any janitors??

Now THAT's a motorcycle! More along classic lines than the prototype suggested, I love it.

Nice work getting this info so quickly.
Been to the Yamaha site, very pleased that they will not disappoint.
2500 bikes for the USA market. What about the rest of the world?
I am going to call Yamaha here tomorrow. I don't expect them to know anything but it is worth a try.
It is expensive but I can see the value..

...
And those carbon fiber accessories! I am sure the cost a fortune but I would rate them amongst the best quality carbon fiber I have ever seen! All body parts including the scoops can be replaces by Star Accessories carbon fiber.
