Hope they weren't Yamaha dealers...

 

[rotortech71]

Independent shops, not dealers I'm assuming. The most asked question by people at rest stops, gas stations, ect, "What IS that!?"

 

[NoMorBills]

Our dealer here in Mesa, AZ has 5 left yet. He is selling at a great price I think like $13,900 OTD Call Apache Honda of Mesa. They know what a Tenere are!

 

[tomatocity]

What did you ask them?

I've been on the road for a Few weeks , tn to Maine and now circling back. I saw my first tenere pulled over in a parking lot 3/4 of the way up the coast of maine. Was a a blue one. I've seen countless vstroms and BMW"s.. 1 Tenere. I don't exactly think they are hot sellers

 

[ADVFireFighter]

What did you ask them?

Asked for a super tenere.!

 

[ADVFireFighter]

Seen my first blue one in the back of a pick up on the Air Force base, couldn't find the owner.

I own a rare car too, I never seen another GXP on the road, just gt's and v6's... 1 or 1800 is pretty rare for a car...

Is there production numbers for our bikes out there?

IIRC, I think I read somewhere once that Yamaha said it was "testing the market with a limited run of 500 STs for the US"...









Then again, I may have invented that because that's what it feels like sometimes...

 

[MurphCO]

I was shopping around for a place to install some farkles


me - What is your hourly shop rate?

etc etc etc

inevitably they ask "what kind of bike is it?"


then the silence and confusion

The recall for the fuel pump o rings listed a range something like 1200 VIN's. That was the first shipment.

I have some friends that own a Holden Commodore, and I have some friends here Stateside in Des Moines that have an (either 08 or 09, I think???) GXP. I don't know of too many other people that even know what that is let alone own one. Nice job!
