What makes them Special? 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago
|
|
I'm looking at buying a 2004 R* "Special Edition" out of Canada and I'm wondering what exactly constitutes a Special Edition? I see the frame is painted white but other than that it doesn't look all that Special. Any information would be appreciated.

I would guess its added chrome and paint schemes limited to only the special edition. Also a speedo with special edition listed on its face. I'm sure mechanically there is no difference.

To the best of my knowledge Yamaha never made a "special edition".
They did however produce a limited run of 1600 called the Silver Edition. The only thing special on them is the speedo face plate.

Well, obviously they made a "Special Edition" and you've got the badge to prove it. So, if I read this right we're looking at paint, badge, hard bags and maybe speedo face plate to delineate this bike from any other run of the mill R*?

Never seen a Factory Road Star with a white frame. Not saying they don't exist, just saying I never saw one. Never heard of a Special Edition until now. Is it just a Canada thing maybe?

The special edition is a particular model that won a Participation Award at a D.C. elementary school!
