FJR1300AE - is the 'YCCS' a sales flop?

[Cdogman]

CalCoast has had a new AE on the floor since summer that they can't give away...

I'll take it!!!

Sorry toecutter. His information is not quite accurate! What he has been seeing is SEVERAL AE's on the floor. They have one now they have had for about a week and a half that came from another store. They sell 'em pretty quickly (about 2-3 weeks on average), and try to keep them on the floor to hook more FJR owners ( I had never heard of them before I saw it on the sales floor!) using tricks like ordering them in salesmens' names. Make NO MISTAKE, AE's may not be as hot as that cobalt blue, but ANY FJR is going to be hard to keep in stock! I really wonder if that will remain true with "cherry cola". Maybe Yamaha came out with that color on purpose to force folks to TRY the AE. I know I am glad I did, and while the wife realy likes "Cherry Cola", it would not work for me! Maybe custom Yamaha RED!

I am tickeld pink (not cherry cola, but I like that color, sorry) with my AE. Now I admit it is only my third bike I do like it. I took my Wing out yesterday though and pulled the clutch coming out of first to second and waited for it to shift (smaking head) then in a flash I reolized I was on my "other" bike and needed to do that whole foot thing too :blink:

The system seems to work great, Throttle control and practice make it shift extrtemely smooth. That does take some toying with it and learning its quirks, then working with it and not allowing it to do everything for you. Before I got to know my AE a bit I was not nearly as happy with its shifting as I now am working with it and understanding its needs.

Oh IMHO (and stuff)

Erm, have you seen the amount of dust on that puppy? It's been parked in the exact same place for quite a while - granted maybe not since summer, but long enough. I'm there at least twice/week and that same scuff on the right bag has been there all along. I know your pops works there and all, but maybe he's thinking of the ST's?
