[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1114557, member: 19880"] 3 Gen I 2 Gen II No Gen III Is there a trend here? - the Yamaha ad certainly didn't say anything about the vintage of the top finishers. I suspect the IBR results will not influence many prospective buyers. Anyone who knows anything about the IBR already knows that Yamaha[B] (actually fantastic competitors who happened to be riding FJR's)[/B] had an impressive finish at the event. If you don't know anything about the IBR, I suspect the statistic won't have much meaning or influence. I certainly wouldn't make light of the fact that the machine helped but I also believe that the results wouldn't have been very different if the top riders were riding something else - as long as the bike held together long enough to make the trip (insert BMW final drive comment here). I would have to assume that the ad was sanctioned by the IBA. If not, I suspect it won't be up there for long. [/QUOTE]
