On ADVrider, a guy writes that the price in Holland will be 16,999 euros for the "First Edition" bike as pictured (w/ panniers, bash plate, etc.). That's $22,900.00. Ouch..!! I refer back to my earlier comment that I wouldn't expect to see this bike here in the US for less than $14,000.00 (ex...

They're what's on a GS so there are plenty of options - including knobbies, available. Matter-of-fact, this bike is so squarely targeting the GS, it's almost a shock that Yamaha just doesn't come right out and say it.

It's anyone's guess. Yamaha was supposed to launch the 660 here in '09, but that didn't happen owing to lack of dealer interest. While I'm sure the dealers may have more interest in this bike, big ticket bikes still aren't moving here (I'd put money on a price point of at least $14K if and when...

Video from the 2009 US Pole Dancing Championships: Click! The reason pole dancing will never be an Olympic sport is that it's really women only. And, quite frankly, I'm not interested in it becoming a men's sport in order to qualify. No... No, I wouldn't want to see that happen at all. :bad:

Edit: Just watched the video. Awesome bike..!!! She's a beast, though: 575 lbs / 261 kgs. Full specs: XT1200Z Super Ténéré Features - * Shaft drive inline 2-cyl engine - 270-degree crank * Mass kept low and central for agile handling * Intelligent Unified Brake System and ABS * YCC-T with...

15 minutes and counting....... :dribble:

And the safe-word is, "smorgasbord"... :evilgrin:

"Semakin Di Depan" is Malay/Indonesian for "Always in the Front". (Southeast Asia is Yamaha's biggest market bar none. They sold over 1.5 million sub-125cc bikes - mainly scooters, in Indonesia alone last year.)

+1 +1 again. I'm still less than convinced on this issue. +1 yet again... :)

How to Talk Like a Real Biker I'm struggling to determine whether this is actually a joke..? :blink:

I might have you beat by a thousand miles or so. I'll be in Indonesia (yet again...). :glare:

Happy Birthday, Marcus! Looking forward to another meet up at Windy Ridge in '10! Marty

Holy Mother of Christmas..!! God bless those Danes! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

ThermaHelm wants to save your life by cooling your brain: Link Watch the video. This is a very clever application of a technology that been available for years. I'd love to see helmet manufacturers adopt this...

Things one should never mention in the same sentence: Niehart and strip poker. It's just not a visual anyone really needs... :wha-smiley:

There are several dozen moto-journalists that felt the same way until they saw it in person... :wub: Not likely we're going to see the FZ8 in the US anytime soon. Europe gets it first.

Article link: No 2010 Suzukis Planned I suppose this explains why there haven't been any updates to Suzuki's website. This decision will likely lead to some fantastic deals on '09 carry-overs...

Indeed. Like many used Ducs I see, they'll be hitting the dealers' used inventories with very low miles and lots of tasty farkles already bolted on; all the nice carbon fiber bits and Termi exhausts. It must be nice to have more money than one knows what to do with (though I'd enjoy the...

If I was leaning more heavily in the DS direction, I think there a bikes that are far better bang-for-the-buck than the base model MTS 1200. At the same price point (less, actually), I can get a fully-loaded BMW F800GS. (And, if I was really smart I'd run - not walk, over to the Portland-are...

US pricing for the 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 has been announced: MTS 1200 Pricing The touring model has really piqued my interest. That said, I suppose my immediate reaction to the pricing is this: I'm not spending twenty-*******-thousand dollars on a bike... :glare:
