Today September 10, 2007 at 12n EST Yamaha announced their 2008 lineup of bikes. At first look the lineup looks somewhat disappointing with only a single new model - the Star Raider - and no other changes to any of its existing models. On closer inspection there are some hidden clues in its lineup that might bring good news in the not too distant future.

The biggest clue it the missing VMax in the 2008 lineup. As we know Yamaha has pushed out the launch of the New Next Generation Yamaha Star VMax - they weren't ready in time for the 2008 release. No old VMax in the lineup means that Yamaha might be closer to releasing it than many people think. Yamaha must have planned to release the bike or the old VMax would have been in the 2008 lineup. It is unlikely that this gap in the lineup will last for a full year, we might see the release of the new VMax in the next several months.
