I had been cruising Yamaha’s Great Britian website on this model long before the word got out this machine was headed to America. Since I don’t have a local BMW dealer I have never opted for a BMW GS. I have a Buell Ulysses. What scares me is the price. Looks like it will be over 20 big ones. After looking hard at this model I really think it has the BMW beat in several areas. It is very innovative. I believe it sets a new standard for this class.

What? specs say $13,900 blue or black. Also say 575 pounds wet, not light exactly…

Can we trade this for an MT-03 or an XJR1300 to be named later?? Just kidding… although rolling this high tech goodness into a TDM1200 like you suggested last issue (hopefully with just a smidgen lower seat height) would be awesome!

Okay, John, I stand corrected. Yes, 575 pounds
is heavy compared to my Buell Uyl.
