Here's the deal..... The dealer can refund the original depositor and take a new deposit from someone else, but he has to warranty register the bike in the original depositors name. After the dealer has received his credit for the deposit from Yamaha he can then transfer the warranty to the new...

Or in my case a sack of cement! :D

He sounded desperate..............

You will get a U.S. spec motor trust me!

Bobby, We have no VIN until the bike is invoiced. I wouldn't think Yamaha would have this either. They would have a manifest of the numbers in a container, but until they are unloaded at port and the numbers verified it would not be feasible to give these to a dealer. As far as trades...

Skooter, I have asked that same question and I am told that those items are not available to the U.S. market from the European distributor. The U.S. has to wait until last to get the tour trunk and mount kit and the same goes for the FZ1 accessories. Most of these items are made in Germany and...

The only accessory known at this point is the heated grips. The travel trunks are available, but no mount kits. I have found the source for the heated grips that Yamaha is using and I have a set on the way to make sure it is exactly the same. If it is I should be able to sell them for about...

Tom, I appreciate the offer, but there are several couples going up for the event. As for an FJR, I have one guy that has cancelled, but I haven't done anything with it yet. My FJR will arrive in March and if you like you are welcome to ride it and then decide if you want one. :D I also...

Tom, I sold Al his LE and just sold him another R1 as a donor bike. :D I ride at the Ar Gap whenever I get a chance, but don't seem to have a lot of time anymore. I don't think you po'd anyone, I just think it has become a spirited debate! :D :D Are you going to the opening day ride? I...

Steve, I beg to differ with you! I have stocked the FZ1 and other models such as the XT225, Virago 250, VMax and others knowing full well that they make or may not sell well, but I knew from years past that allocations for new models of similar type will be based on past performances...

Why should Yamaha offer the new one to a dealer that won't buy and try to sell the previous model? They should reward the dealers that consistently buy all models available to them regardless of that units popularity and represents the full line the manufacturer offers. Instead alot of them...

The problem is Yamaha has only x amount of production capability and that number is determined before the dealers have a chance to order. We are given an allocation of particular models and we can ask for additional units. If all the dealers don't take their allocation the they go into a pool...

The MCO or certificate of origin has nothing to do with when the bike was warranty registered. Send me your VIN and I can pull the date and you can compare it to the date you actually purchased your bike. If you paid enough to the dealer he may have just forfeited the deposit, but I doubt it...

Glenn, I have often wondered that myself! All the oem's are reluctant to release any sales numbers other than by segment. I think they feel it will be used by one of the other manufacturers somehow to beat them at something!! The only way to obtain any type of information is from state...

Bob, Yamaha is very tight lipped with production and sales numbers. There have been speculated sales figures, but they are just that. It is my understanding that the '06 has sold exceptionally well, but it is a miniscule figure compared to the cruiser segment. I do believe that there will be...

The whole idea for the LE is to allow the race bikes superior suspension components to run in the stock class where the other major manufacturers must run the stock suspension pieces to stay in that class. They can't put aftermarket pieces on their bikes, so the R-1 LE has a decided advantage...

Yamaha was reluctant in my opinion to bring the FJR in the U.S. due to the poor response the GTS recieved in 1993 and 1994. If the actual sales numbers that have been speculated for the GTS are correct, (712) for both years then I wouldn't take that chance either based on that information! The...

Mark, This is off topic, but I have a friend that is going with his son in May to Alaska and he was wondering if you and Gizmo would like to go! Tony

Bender, The VIN is no longer tied to a particular order. There is a list of customers and when the bike is sold we simply put the serial number in the field next to the customer name that received that particular VIN. I bet when these things were tied to a particular customer there were...
