New Bike!

No doubt about it, the Fazer is a nice bike!
I'm partial to the limited edition bumblebee paint scheme:



Reminds me of King Kenny.  :bigok:

I like the bee scheme too. Particularly popular with Pittsburgh residents!  

My blue color is the one I've seen most often.  I have also seen silver and black.

Yamaha mixes things up a bit: the blue one has a black engine this year.

Interestingly, except for color schemes, the bike is unchanged from '01 thru '05.

Pretty much like the 01-05 B12...

That's the color I was trying to make a deal on in College Sation, TX in 01 at Action Sports Yamaha.  They wouldn't freekin come down from list, so I bought the ol' Bandit at Stubb's Cycle a couple miles from me in Houston.  That was a wasted trip to college station.

I really liked the black scheme.  The salesman was trying to justfy no discount saying the bike was equal to a R1 and less expensive (freekin idiot).  I pulled my checkbook out and said I'll write you a check for $8500 out the door right now.  We can verify the account has the money and do a transfer today. He said no, I said fuk u...
Oh well, I still like that bike.


And my trusty Bandit,  notice the similarity.  LOL!



Enjoy your new bike, I bet you luv the power compared to your old B6.

10-4, Mike.  I do like the increase in power.   Roll-on wheelies are pretty cool.  Not that I'd ever do that. :bs:

I'd have told him to stuff it too.  You could travel a little and find one for at least $500 - $1000 less.  Well, at least that's the case now.  Back in '01, when it was new, maybe not.
