Performance: took mine to the drag strip a few times. Computer is faster than your clutch fingers! Low speed: you're working yourself up too much. At ultra low speed, just create drag with brake pedal and use the throttle. Not much different. Best benefit: stopping at a toll booth to get...

Mine is back two weeks ago. Feels fine. Was told method #1 used> full engine drop.

Yes, I've heard of 10 years.

Not to diss my 08, but my 16 and 19 even better.

The 08AE was my first. I don't see it as as much more complex. I'd buy another. Quite happy with it.

Discount??? Offer cash. That helped me.

Good reading. Thanks.

Ha!  Ride it and park it.  Once a year wash, visible areas only.

If to be USA only, does anyone have an inside source saying how many were produced for USA in 2019, or even 2018?  My gut says not enough to keep a model going strong in the future.  But then again, sales for other continents haven't been discussed, which would keep the numbers up to keep Yamaha...

A version of loud pipes save lives.  Big dogs barking for the 2020 supposedly.

Reading Warchild's response as a positive, nothing but positives here, as well.  As I've said before, easier to avoid any inherent buzz at 4200.

Residence, yes. Dealer is in Topsham.

He personally installed the bridge on my 16 in the front lobby. Will be one of the first things I do on the new bike.

Non-ES at the dealer which I'm going to buy tomorrow (unless someone snuck in today to get it). To replace the 16 which replaced my 08. Anyway, 16 had damage from my driving error but then some knuckleheads tipped it over both ways to compound it. Thankyou, State Farm, for the check to...

Excellent investment for you. Keep searching!

Hot Dog! That's great! Glad the workhorse is still going strong and hasn't lost anything.

Having had an '08 AE, nothing wrong with you getting a fresher, the last of the model while it was still available over in the USA. If the money works and the mileage works, I equate it to trading newer with a truck, car, boat, etc.

Don't overthink it anymore than you already have. No magic answer other than try the medium setting and brake for the crap sections.

Gen 4 seat photos posted. Pans the same between stock and optional Comfort. Comfort is wider plus gel and nylon mesh is evident through the bottom breather holes.
