Ohhh, I wonder if I should have waited for the 2011 Raven :p instead of a getting the First Edition Blue last October :'(

This lovely baby is ready for immediate delivery at my local dealer (with all the kit, including panniers)

Oh well, all done and decided now. At-least I will be more visible on the blue... ;)

wow, that's nice. it's what I ordered.
For a second I thought you were in the US and you're dealer had one on the floor already.

Is that a re-sized picture you posted. If you have a larger one, please send to me by email. rkonowaluk AT Yahoo Dot Com.

The sticker price is .... wait for it.... 149000SEK which is ~23300 USD at today's exchange rate .....hhh cough!!

Even though this includes 25% sales tax I think you'll realize that we in Europe live in a different world...

Relative to pricing point in Sweden this is nevertheless a very good deal. The dealer has kept MSRP but included the base package and plus package in the price (in other words the full kit).

I saved the picture directly an internet site, so don't have anything in larger format.

Here is the link http://www.blocket.se/sodermanland/Yamaha_FZ1200Z_SUPER_TENERE_ABS_32534219.htm?ca=11&w=1

BTW, here is my DL650 that I traded in for the blue last October, that they are now trying to sell for .... wait for it... USD $10100 :))

+1 on the Raven from me. I love black bikes, and if anything matches hi-vis it's black. ;D

Wow, that was one good looking Wee. Did you ever have any trouble with those Givi E21's? I picked up a set of those to use on my S10 for routine around town kind of stuff.

That 2007 Wee was the love of my life when in lasted. I never ran into problems with the E21's with exception that the lids mark very easily, e.g. mainly with my boot hitting them as I swung my leg over.

All that you see in that picture was purchased when I lived in Texas. I sold the 07 DL650+kit to the dealer for pretty much the same amount of money I paid in the US new. That reduced the blow of paying Europe prices for the S10 somewhat...

Don't sweat it man, the blue is beautiful as well. Easier to keep clean, too. Better visibility also, and... (feel better yet?) :-\

The Silver is probably the ideal color though, since it hides dirt well.

Thanks........sniff... ;)

Seriously though, the black is sweet as candy...I wouldn't mind stroking and polishing that every day, so to speak ..

Raven is only the fastest color when applied to a FJR or a R1. For the SuperT, Impact Blue is the fastest................. >:D

It's kind of like with fire, the Blue Flame is the hottest, and the Black........well that's what's left over after the fire is snuffed out. :))
