I hate the wait

[Loki]

The 07's look like a big rolling Hershey bar to me.

I waited 8 months, quit yer bitchin'.

I wasn't gonna say anything but... BIG +1 on that one!

WOOOHOOOO!!!!Just got the call from D&H! They said the truck was on it's way, and asked if I was in position to pick it up late next week! Of course, I told them no, as others here needed their bikes far more desperately than I did.

Then I changed my mind. I'll be in Culman, AL next Friday! :hyper:

You lucky dog. Yours is one of two that they got. I guess mine is still in transport. Oh well, it would give me more time to have a proper home coming organized.

Here's a few more pics. You can see how the color looks different when bright light hits it. I got to see it in the sun for a few minutes today (while riding it unfortunately so I couldn't stare) and you can definitely see some red. It's kinda cool how it looks different in different light.

If we ever have another sunny day around here I'll take another picture of it on the driveway and post it for comparison.

Here's a picture of the tail area FriscoJim talked about.

And here's a tight shot of the gauges. The area right behind the gauges is the same color as the rest of the bike (again just lit by the flash).

Let me know if there is a specific part you'd like to see and I'll try to post a pic.

You might take a photo of the clutch slave cylinder on the left side of the engine. I'd like to see if they reverted back to the larger diameter, earlier design hydraulic cylinder.

Well, my local dealership (North Texas Yamaha) has a 2007 AE. I saw it as it was being uncrated when my tire was being replaced.
Now, as for knowing if it was earmarked for a customer, or not, I don't know. But they are here.

Syracuse, UT and NTY ?? Confused.

I had to wait 6 months for my '05 so hush. Plan rides and order farkles in the interim.

Ya, pretty damn easy. I moved. I am in Frisco, TX now. I forgot to update it, so thanks for the reminder!

Hey send me a PM sometime and we can ride together... I need to find some people to hang out with down here!

I am just up the road..

Here's a shot of the left side of the engine. The picture came out pretty dark but hopefully you can still see what you want to see. If not, let me know and I'll take another one tomorrow.

It looks like I get the honor of spreading the news that at least one '07 has been delivered somewhere...I picked mine up yesterday afternoon. My dealer only received the one bike but he said there were others on the truck headed elsewhere. Then I got a call Today from another dealer (one here in Texas I had talked to several months ago) who told me they were expecting their deliveries to start soon. I think he said about a week but I really wasn't listening that closely. Maybe they will start arriving everywhere soon.
After hearing and reading some sad stories from previous years, I was pretty sure I was in for a long wait too. Even after my dealer called me last Thursday to tell me it was on its way from California, I still had my doubts. It turns out he was telling the truth. Hopefully you'll have a similar experience.

I only had to wait 5 or 6 weeks but it was worth it for me.

Here's a picture of it standing in my driveway

The bike looks great! Can't wait to pick mine up.

Can you settle an aurgument on another thread, did you get side case liner bags?

Just a question . What is that by your left knee position , it kind of looks like a silver plastic tab that is out of place.

Yes, mine came with case liners.

It's actually a piece of rubber that sits between the tank and frame. There's one on each side and they look a lot more black or dark grey in real life.

I ordered mine on 12/31/06.

I pick it up tomorrow.

I ordered my 03 in February of 02 and it was promptly delivered the middle of October 02.

It's now for sale: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/259144444.html

Congrats on the ride and thanks for that infomation. You just cost somebody on eBay a sale and saved me a bunch of bucks as I wait, wait, wait.....

I get my '07 Black Cherry on Sunday. Actually, the dealer's had it since Tues, but I couldn't get there before they close. Can't wait!

UPDATE: Got it!!!
