So what the colors for the 10 ?

 

I heard that Yamaha is getting away from using blue if you can believe it. White is their new color, all the Yamaha signs at the dealers around here are red all of a sudden.

 

red is there new racin color and yea everyones going from blue to red. white n red i think. Why 2010?

the red Yamaha logo is not "new" lol

The U.S. has always used blue for some reason while the rest of the world already used red...that's what i was told by a Yamaha Rep. anyway:dunno

 

congrats:thumbup and it's not the 'standard' blue.....it's racing blue...or more correctly the 'FASTER' blue!:flex::tocoo:

 

So in theory I can preorder a 2011 R1 today right? Even though Yamaha hasn't annouced anything on its details

 

Can't say for sure. In theory sounds good though. You want me to call and let them know your interested?

I placed a $300 (required, I placed substantially more) non-refundable deposit and understand that nothing has been released as of yet. If you question my comments, I will be more than happy to refer the saleman and the phone number.

There's always one in every crowd.

 

yeah i think i will put deposit on 2011 r1 tomorow....

 

It's already in...


Thank God you ordered it early enough.

 

Watch the EPA restrict all motorcycles to 40 hp or something stupid.

Of course everyones gonna Ask WTF? why would you put money down on a bike you cant have yet is identical to the current model out. Besides color...which will more than likely change. Sorry im just curious

 

I was wondering the same thing. The blue 09 and a blue 2010 will probably look the same, maybe a different rim color.

I will be looking at putting a deposit down for 2012, i heard its going to be a cracker of a bike

 

I had a hefty deposit at a dealer for my R1. turned out they were suckin really bad so I went to a different dealer. That was back in november. I got my deposit back last week.

 

ha i ordered the first 22nd century for my great, great grandchild, can u say vector thrust engines

just ribbin u bro, most of the kinks should be worked out. PM me the salesman's info

 

I'd like to know your reasoning behind putting money down on a 2010 bike? I'm not bashing you, just curious. It doesn't seem to make much sense. It's guaranteed that the bike will be the same as the 09's except for colors, of which we could hazard a guess that they will be somewhat similar. Even if they aren't, one could switch out plastics rather simply at any point in time.

THe other thing is the money. Why tie up that kind of cash so early in the game? If you really wanted the bike, so be it, but they only require 300 to hold the bike, so why tie up more than that? You are taking money you could invest and turn a profit on, then use it to buy the bike later when it comes in. Instead, you gave them the cash, and they in turn get to to make money on it (seeing as how they haven't even bought the bike from Yamaha yet).

I'm just curious to know your reasoning. One, why now and not just an 09, and why more than the min for a down payment?

 

maybe he got a better deal by putting down more.

 

Could be. That's why I'm asking.

 

Gotta be a troll.

Who would do such a thing? Especially since the Dollar is dropping like a stone with all this reckless spending. The 2010 R1 might end up being 15-16k when the exchange rate stabilizes.

Its not like there is going to be a shortage of them or anything, lol.

And look at his avatar info - says 2008 R1 on layaway - WTF is that about. Sounds like this guy doesent even want a bike, just likes the idea of it and puts money down for kicks or something.

I think the layaway is for the Schwinn, and is probably only a joke anyways. However, your avatar info says Gixxer and screen name says R1 rider, so you must be a troll as well?

 

the question was rhetorical. But my speculations were on par with yours.

 

This ****in R1 site sucks ****in dick, i havn't read one ****ing thread on here that doesnt turn to shit. **** this place please delete me from here! btw to the original poster, congrats on the deposit, i hope the 2010 R1 is worth your wait

 

:hammer::hammer::hammer:



I love this place:rock

 

LOL @ ^

If this thread is all it takes to push you over the edge I hope your work doesn't have access to the roof!

 

Priceless comment:lol:lol:lol:lol. I guess he never needed any technical help with his bike.:dunno

 

People don't realize that everybody gets bashed on here at one point. I did when I first joined and I'm still here. Plus if ya play along then you'll be alright. His panties are all up in a lacy bunch

 

Hope they come back with the Gray color

 

:lol

 

yes dealer can take deposit on one, altho its not good idea till u know any changes, colors and most of all PRICE. there are plenty of 09s out there, i would just go ahead and get 2009. but thats me.

 

I've placed a deposit a year ahead before on a kawi 636 in 04 for an 05. Sole reasoning behind it was to lock in a price. I believe the asking price was $8600 and i got it for $8k otd. Couldd be a different reason here. Just saying.

*edit: The dealer didn't have a definite price on the 05 yet when i deposited mine though so i was pretty much going in blind. Also it was a new model that i've never seen besides concept pics.

 

To answer a bunch of questions. The reason I went with a 2010 model is simply because I don't currently own the new body style and heard a great deal about all the kinks not being completely worked out yet. (Yes, I did hear that information here on R1 Forum), so after many people telling me the "bugs or kinks" will be worked out by the 2010 model, I decided to go ahead and order one.

As far as the money, I'm not going to come in here and say money is no object, however I would not of given them the money if I couldn't afford it.

For those who keep asking for the info:
Katy Yamaha in Katy, Texas

Sales: Ask for Billy


Damn, some of ya'll are bitching like we were at a kumandsuckme dealership. These are happy days. What makes you think with me being in the oil and gas business that I actually care about the price of gasoline? Or the final price of the bike?

To my friends ribbing me, it's all good.
Everyone else, whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

Have nothing really to add, but my fiance lives about a mile from Katy Yamaha. Been in there a few times to look around while she is shopping at Target down the road(across Fry). Nice people, seem very genuine. The boss barely allows me to continue to race bicycles otherwise I might have walked out of there considerably less wealthy a few times.

 

Kmac: Good looking out. Appreciate it.

The reasoning I believe has been posted. And for those who can not read or interpret accurately I am sorry that the phonics aren't working.

Why is it every time you come around, the toilets don't flush and the cats pregnant?

 

Waiting for the 2010 model is a good idea, I have been toying with the idea of waiting instead of buying an '09 myself. Probably they will fix a few small things here and there, but it wont be a redesign of anything, all japanese literbikes are on a two year cycle before they get redesigned. So for 2010 we will see the same R1 and GSXR1000 as we have now, but a new Honda CBR1000rr and kawi ZX-10R are due.

 

Maybe the 2010 R1 will have some HP. .
