[QUOTE="TripperMike, post: 1320500, member: 27241"] Just got back from a demo ride of several choice Yamaha offerings, including the venerable '16ES. All I can say is it really SUCKED big time to have to get back on Old Yeller afterwards. The bike is truly a fabulous machine. I have test ridden the '15 last year and frankly IMHO the '16 is a Gen IV bike. That slipper clutch alone has changed so much in the ride experience. And with the 5th gear ratio the same as it is on my '05, that makes the 6th gear a true overdrive. Yeah I told the shop owner that I'll be talking to him in earnest after my trip in Colorado in a couple weeks. Edit: ok truth be told, I do actually give a rip....lol But, this bike is different, again IMHO. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
