Thumbs up who's ordered one?

Well I've had the e-mail from Yamaha telling me how to reserve one. But �13.5k on a bike that I cant even sit on or see in all its glory is not for me. I will hold off and wait until they turn up in the dealers. It certainly looks to be a capable and comfortable long distance bike.

Besides I've just found out what the total cost of my daughters university fees will be for the next three years!!

So Has anyone bitten the bullet and reserved one on line??

Nope. Playing the waiting game too .... unless I succumb to the charms of a KTM990SMT in the meantime!!!

Don't do it!!

At that price you'd be better off with a Brit-built Tiger, and a pile of money left over for a proper trailee!

Changed my mind !

I had the green light from SWAMBO but it appears that I cannot buy it without those small/crap boxes. I have a set of them for my 660 and buying them was an error.

On top of that �13.5k is very high but not too high because I will probably get one eventually, perhaps in a year or so when I hit the road properly.

Having said that my GSA is getting sold so the 660Z has got its work cut out.

I'd be interested to hear in detail how you get on with it Keith. I also considered the 990 Adventure (or was it Adventurer? are there two versions?) and had a good poke around at the Dortmund show. I loved that too, other than the seat fealt strange - hard, which it's known for, but also seemed to have a 'mixed compound' if you see what I mean, almost like it had different material filling in 'zones', as it were. Not sure if it's me, a rogue bike or meant to be like that. Please let me know how you find yours.

I'm leaning toward the SMT because I'd keep the Tenere anyway and see the Adventure closer to that and the SMT closer to the V Strom it would be replacing.

Anyway, hope it goes well, you enjoy it and you let us all know what it's like with a few pictures. All the best.
