Re:Another new bike from Yamaha 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
"Elude the elements"

Intriguing, I wonder what they mean by that.
Is it a car? Just a faring, (maybe the new venture without the top lugage, like a street glide) A ltrike?
Maybe this one has a heater to "Elude the elements"

I think I need one of these, but I need to "Elude" the payments. So, who wants to buy one for me?

The guy with the Road Star, it showed 18K miles. From all I've read from the posters here that's barely broken in.




Yeah, I had over 50k between my two Roadstars in about 5 years time

Just reaching 40k on my 2006 Roadstar & it's no different than when I bought it with 2k on it, other than a couple dings in the paint.
I've seen more 100k+ Roadstars than I can remember in the shop for nothing more than tires, brakes & oil changes.

Funny in 2017 Yamaha also trademarked in the EU: Yamaha Nyken
http://www.motorcycle-magazine.com/yamaha-nyken-trademarked/
So the Eluder is done in 2016 as well: https://trademarks.justia.com/871/16/eluder-87116426.html
Very interesting indeed.

It was 10:30 eastern time. Just watched the video on the FB page. Yamaha Eluder. It's basically a Street Glide or FB6 version of the new Venture. Sharp looking bike.
