If you could ask Yamaha ONE question...

If you could ask Yamaha corp. ONE question, (of course this is assuming you would get a 'real' answer and not just corp. double-talk <_< )

what would it be?

Let's start out with the Tick, to get that out of the way.....

NUMBER ONE: Has Yamaha now definitively identified the cause of the Tick?

Okay, someone pick up the ball...........

...Why are your pianos so f*@king heavy.

I really am not concerned about the

But I would love to know the corpthink surrounding PDP. Hell, I can buy an $80,000 Caddy XLR more easily than I can a $15,000 motorcycle and that begs all logic.

So when are you going to start building automobiles?

Why a cigarette lighter in the glove box, but not an improved output alternator?

Why so many colors in Europe, but so few in N. America? (Read: "Why can't I have a jade green FJR?")

Damn, someone beat me to it.

The SHO engine was a marvel when it came out in '89. At the time it came out, the only engine with a higher power to displacement ratio on a "production" car was the ferrari f355.

I have two of these beasts, one of which wears yamaha emblems front and rear.

My question: Why has Yamaha stolen my intellectual property rights?

I've had this design in production for two years now!

Another million dollar idea just given away............ :huh:



Shane

My question would be,

If we gotta wait six months or so to order/receivc an FJR, why can't we choose some different paint colors when ordering. Is it all that hard to mix some colors?

We did. It's called the Ford Taurus SHO. Our Engine, everything else was Ford.

Probably should have read the whole thread first before replying but hey, it put me at the next level of post's!!!!

My question would be, why haven't you supplied dealers with demo bikes so I can decide between a FJR or BMW K1200S????? B)
