[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1187174, member: 8712"] Same train of thought here. As someone who's always 1-up, knowing how often I adjust my upgraded suspension, conscious of a good deal cost-wise, and the unknowns of a new product re. maintenance and reliability, I definitely was leaning towards an A when the time comes. [I]But [/I]. . . The world keeps turning and technology brings progress, no? I can remember not being happy when I could only get auto-locking hubs on my '86 Blazer although at least I could still order the manual transfer case. And I clearly recall my father not wanting power windows or door locks on our old Caprice - just something that's surely going to break and be expensive to repair. Besides what's wrong with rolling down a window anyways? I wonder if my grandfather had any use for automatic transmissions. There's quite a few bikes going up for sale lately and they're grabbing my attention, just to see what I'm in store for when it comes time. When a non-ABS Gen I comes up it seems even more outdated. I'd bet this same debate went on back when these were new. I wonder if, or how soon, Yamaha might stop producing A models. Unless an A is "too good to pass up", pretty sure I'll be favoring the ES.
