Note: The below is what was originally posted to the home page on April 1st. I've updated this message so it makes sense to those who read this thread after-the-fact.

Sad news today. I just got this sent to me by a friend of mine who is an insider at Yamaha:

The XT1200Z Super Tenere has failed to generate the expected orders in the US Market. At this time we are suspending the launch of the XT1200Z to the US Market indefinitely. Dealers will contact all customers who have preordered the XT1200Z and issue refunds. Also...

APRIL FOOLS!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Figured that's where you were going on this. Goes well with the inch of fresh snow now on the ground out front this morning, with more falling right now.

My 5 year old son was my inspiration. He immediately started up this morning with some really terrible April fools jokes, and I figured I had to "pay it forward." ;D

Good grief, man! That headline just about put me down for the count.

Any other April Fool's Day joke played on me today isn't going to come close to this one.

You're one sick puppy, Venture.
