Yamaha finally did it. They put the final nail in the "I want a Royal Star" coffin. I even wrote them a letter last year explaining why I couldn't buy a new one unless they updated the engine and added fuel injection. I know it's coming but there are so many bikes out there that the manufacturers ARE making better I just couldn't buy a "stand on our laurels" design.
Star could have sucked me back in if they had come up with a 1500 to 1700cc V-4 with fuel injection, more power and everything else that's already on the bike. But another year of the same old thing that I've been looking at for 10 years is just too much. No snide comments, after 13 years I still like looking at my wife. If you don't that's your problem.
I'm going to be owning my next bike for 10 years or more and if I bought the LAST YEAR they made the carbed bikes I'd kick myself. So Triumph Rocket III (probably tour) here I come. I'll be looking for a used one at a lesser price but a new one does have it's appeal. I'll start shopping in about 6 months. Wish me luck:kick:
