I picked up my '07A a year ago. Today I have 19200 miles on it. The relationship started out a little rocky. The throttle was so stiff and the lag on roll-on so bad when I first got it that it scared me. I took it to the dealer and they did a TBS and it helped a lot. A TSR fixed the stiffness. The surging and vibes drove me crazy until I added bar end weights and a PCIII and (finally) got the new ECU from Yamaha. I seriously thought I'd made a mistake the first few months after my trouble-free ST1100.
I stuck with it though and today we're doing great together. I still hate the seat, but there is a Bill M. saddle in my near future. I might decide on a Cee Bailey before my next big X country ride. I just bought the YES, so I'm good for the next four years. That should put me right around 75-80K miles and I'll probably be ready for my next one. Love the handling and power and the ergos.
