[QUOTE="redgum, post: 49196, member: 1433"] I think Yamaha may know their price point well and have a good market with their current balance of performance and value for money. Price it too high and ZZR and Blackbird will pick some sales at one end and Honda STI and may be BMW at the other. If they put the price on the bike up I'd be happy for the resale value of mine but would likely look around for other options for the next bike even where I had the money to pay for the FJR. I agree with RonBB. Linked brakes! That's what put me off the Blackbird! And for that matter... no clutch lever? Call me a ludite, but bikes change gear plenty fast and the activity and rest point offerred by the clutch lever for the left hand has other advantages. But the adjustable seats, bars and fairing... good move (pardon the pun). [/QUOTE]
