[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1191936, member: 118"] I was fortunate enough to be able to sit through a PowerPoint presentation recently on the introduction of the new R1 and FJ-09 motorcycles. One of the slides I found interesting had to deal with the sales trend of sport touring type motorcycles. The trend has been upward which is one of the driving forces behind Yamaha introducing the FJ-09. I can't remember exact specifics, but stats were from the five years from 2009 to 2013. Overall, [B]sales were up 34%[/B]. From about 11,000 units in 2009, to about 15,000 units in 2013. A very good trend that should benefit us, the consumer. I don't know anything else like whose research that was, where it came from, or what they classified as a Sport Touring motorcycle so don't ask! And as much as I try to be an idealist, I am wary of the mental masturbation that I am afraid will follow as to what is a sport touring motorcycle, and how Yamaha didn't do the FJ-09 correctly. BTW, I saw the new FJ-09 - a normal model and an accessorized version at the Phoenix IMS show this past weekend. I was impressed! Maybe, just maybe, I will be willing to give up one of my FJRs to put an FJ-09 in it's place. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
