Actually, I didn't get in on the PdP, but the dealer did. They coughed
up the dough for two bikes on their own. You think that's going to mean
I'm in for a bout of the ol' "how much is it worth to you" treatment?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Yes it will. Also, Yamaha has a requirement that the owner who bought
the bike under PdP (which the dealer had to fib about to get a floor
bike) MUST take delivery within 15 days of the dealership getting the
bike in. That means that clock starts ticking on the warranty at the
time the dealer tells Yamaha his Brother in Law took delivery (when in
reality it's sitting on the floor). You wanna bet that the dealer jacks
up the price for the lost $500 that Yamaha sends them for doing it right?

Check the FJR forums there are 03's, 04's and there will be some PdP 05
owners get cold feet. There are links to them at my web site listed below.

Hey Ari, you simply HAVE to check out
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.fjrtech.com/default.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.fjrtech.com/default.cfm</a> if you haven't already. Warchild
put together a totally rocking site on the FJR! The knowledge base on
this bike is *huge*.


P.S. I believe thanks are in order to Brownse for posting this link
once or twice before.

Thanks. Will do. I really wish I had read a little more about this
bike before they ended the PDP program for this year. I think I'm ready
to buy one of these if I can find a "right-to-buy" that someone doesn't
want to exercise.

Thanks, Bownse.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Yer welcome. The link to it, FJROwners, FJRInfo, and FJR (Ezboards) are
all on my web site too.
