Tenere. And yet if you click on the specs link, it still shows $13,900. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelspecs/651/0/specs.aspx

That would have been one of the announcements at the dealer meetings today, I guess.

At least it means the Super Tenere is definitely coming back next year ;D

 

[~TABASCO~]

IMOP its still worth the + $600 retail... Good thing they are going to have it for a few years...

That sucks. Inching its way to Canadian prices :-(

We had heard that this would be the price of additional 2012 units in stock that dealers could order . Guess we'll find out for sure when our dealership owner gets back from the meetings tomorrow.

 

[big dave]

stop complaining, in the UK the list price is over $20.000 at the current exchange rate !!!

They must've heard us praising the bike in Japan. We need to tone it down a bit.......bad bike, too heavy....crappy brakes....what's with the shaft drive.... Is it working . Ok, I'm a bad liar. ::022::

+1, Particularly when you only paid $12,500!!

It also props up the resale on our PDP units here in the US. Woo Hoo! ::015::

Taking bids?............Naah.

Yep, from what I've seen, changes on the spec page have always been delayed. Main page shows $14,500.

Makes sense, They are now taking on more risk and you pay a bit more.

The PDP price was a lesser risk proposition that informed people took advantage on.

Anyway it's not expensive at all., for everyone else in the entire Universe.

+1.........True

Still, it's nice to KNOW that you chose well. ::012::

I am just really happy that it looks like it will be off of PDP and a regular item. Way to go Yamaha! ::022::

That is just kewl! wide-spread acceptance bodes well for survival of the species. This is the darndest bike I've ever owned...and I mean that in a good way.

 

[markjenn]

I doubt this change in price, in and off itself, indicates "off PDP". We'll probably know by EOD.

I agree. Having this bike available "on the floor" and for immediate order/delivery is the best thing that can happen. There are folks out there that will not order site unseen. Besides, everybody likes immediate gratification. Sometime next Spring I hope to either watch the Tiger ride away with a new owner on top, or ride in to the dealer on it and out on a Tenere. Less to worry about when you're not waiting months for the order to arrive.

It is no longer on the PDP. I had a whopping 2 bikes allocated to me one in September and one in March! From what I understand, we sold more S10's than any other dealer. I am guessing that they have allocated the bikes that were either cancelled or the remaining units that YMUS had to commit to purchase from Yamaha Motor Japan from the original release. I have not spoken with any other dealers to see what they were allocated, but I imagine there are a lot of dealers that were not allocated any at all. Pretty dissapointing............
