Don't watch it. It'll make you CC's glow red hot. Still no word if it's coming to North America.

 

[Auron]

I wonder how that electronic suspension would work on the fork if you changed out the rear shock?

 

[RiderX]

That is a sweet marketing piece.

 

[majicmaker]

Bungie you *******! Why did you have to post that? I was very happy living in ignorance and denial. A pox on both your houses.

Between the 'music' and the twirling motion I need a Dramamine®. If they would just add a clutch lever and export it to the US it would endanger my bank account. Hopefully Yamaha got the suspension dialed in correctly 'cause it would be a b!tch to add an aftermarket.

That's true ionbeam, but, I think I'll be able to live with that!

Um......isn't clutch-less shifting the same concept as the AE? If I'm not mistaken, didn't that go over like a lead balloon? I know - I have one.

I like the fact that they kept the adjustable side panels - do they now tell you where they're supposed to be to keep you warmer/cooler/just-right?

I'm not quite sure why they think a one piece cowl is better than several pieces. To me that means one large and very expensive part if something breaks.

I doo-doo like the metallic diarrhea color.

No, the clutch is still used in the AE, it's just controlled by the computer.

It'd be nice if they'd separate out the auto shift from the rest of the options. Put that suspension on both models.

Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh

 

[mcatrophy]

Do you like their new colour scheme?

 

[mferriter]

Do you like their new colour scheme?

If only. At least it would mean they have access to colors aside from black, dark grey, medium grey, light grey, dark silver .........

I think they are doing that to force people to go with the AE just for the suspension. Then a lot of them will be convinced that: Ohhhhhh ****!! This AE thing is Sweeeeet!!

 

[gixxerjasen]

Only takes one time stuck in heavy traffic to realize that!

Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh

Cat got your tonque there Buddy?!

 

[Warpdrv]

That is a super nice unit, and I'll bet all that suspension STUFFS trickles down along the way.

Still holding out with my 05....
