I like it and look forward to a demo ride someday. Still on the fence about the big vents out front. Hopefully they will have some more new bikes coming out in the next few months.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021698 Deerkiller (User) I just made this great wheelie...did you see it? Platinum Boarder Posts: 7151 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I was on the fence awhile ago about all the flat black and no chrome. I am now loving it (my F6B is all flat paint). I spend way less time cleaning it and trying to keep it all perfect and shiny like I did my Roadstar. Wash and dry it with a chamois and a leafblower. No water spots to polish off anymore. I don't have time to ride enough let alone clean and wax the thing all the time. Although the Roadie did look sweet as pie right after a good wash and wax   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021699 Assocracer (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1227 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Deerkiller wrote: I was on the fence awhile ago about all the flat black and no chrome.

Could be on my Christmas list.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021714 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Assocracer wrote: roadiemort wrote: Assocracer wrote: Orthogonal wrote: Comparing just the faring styling and bike profile, the harley looks run o the mill ...same round headlight and fairing profile u see on most bikes on road including customs The yam from front n side profile is homerun i think To me there's just too much plastic.

I used to laugh to myself years ago when Wreckless was the rage and I had a WOC plastic one pc. fairing on mine, They all said they would not put a plastic pc. of sheet on their bike.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/09/08 14:24 By roadiemort.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021718 Assocracer (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1227 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   roadiemort wrote: Assocracer wrote: roadiemort wrote: Assocracer wrote: Orthogonal wrote: Comparing just the faring styling and bike profile, the harley looks run o the mill ...same round headlight and fairing profile u see on most bikes on road including customs The yam from front n side profile is homerun i think To me there's just too much plastic.

I just meant too much plastic covering up the bike. Most of my bike is still out in the open.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021724 brad_g (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm still on the fence if I like it or not. I did like the comment about the front looking like Camaro. I thought that was accurate. Kind of a "tough" look. Then I see the back and all I see is an old boat T-Bird from the back. Now I'm thinking instead of a tough, muscular cruiser...it looks like a floating boat. But in seriousness, I'm a fan of chrome and love my R* look when it's all cleaned and glimmering in the sun. But as many have said, wonder what the support will be like for accessories. You know HD and Indian are going to have a lot. But if you like the bike the way it's shipped it could be a great ride. Time will tell.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021728 YZ18 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1150 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I don't see much to change on the Eluder. Black shield, passenger backrest, maybe luggage rack and aftermarket exhaust. I do like the fog light option.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1021815 Orthogonal (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1624 Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   that motor looks really good to me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
