Here's a low mileage beauty...http://tinyurl.com/nuggyqu 

That one is very nice. If any bike I have will ever be worth anything this will be it. Not that I bought as an investment. I plan on using it as a driver. They only sold 200 in Canada. My good friend remembers being at Yamaha Technical school and watching them crush unsold bikes. What a shame.

.... and watching them crush unsold bikes. What a shame.

If you look to the left you will see my head exploding... again.  I'd like to take the bean counter who decided that and hoof him in the nuts 'til they came out his ears.   

They could have easily auctioned them off for charities or something. I better stop before I hurt myself

I was at a Ride Day at Phillip Island where Frankston Yamaha had a Demo model of the GTS 1000 for some potential customers to ride with the hope of making a  few sales prior to its Australian release.
There was all sorts of Pomp and Ceremony as they unloaded the big machine from the trailer.
Unfortunately the first rider (a Yamaha employee) High Sided at MG corner and turned it into splinters and shards of abs.
They were very quiet as they poured the big machine back into the trailer and covered it in a tarp. The Yamaha Guys were very embarrassed and never even said good bye.
I must say I was pretty impressed as it passed me going up to The Hay Shed only to see it cart wheeling over itself at MG.

Be Good.
