The main reason i pulled the pin on the 12 model was the salesman lied to me when he took my deposit and said the bike would be in stock in a week.
In fact they could not give me a delivery date, it could be here next week or it could be next month was what i was told when i started to push them.
Not good enough me thinks, that dealership has lost a loyal customer that updates his bike every 3 years ands spends a fair bit in store along the way.
Anyway rant over im happy with my decision

That’s understandable Aido. I am looking forward to seeing the new one in the flesh. I reckon if the EFI is reliable they will have taken a really good bike and finished it off. I am helping build one for the APC it was picked up from Yamahas HQ yesterday. It is going t be a custom build 450 rally :woohoo: I can’t get over to the workshop today either so it will be Monday, maybe even a ride on it

$8700 is a cracking deal for a new 450 of any brand. No doubt the FI 2012 model will be a good bike but will it be 4K better?

My bike is a US import. It has no ADR components and is fully deregulated from factory.

it would be no good in NSW as it can not be fully registered, lucky in mexico we can rec reg. And you think we are are the poor cousins, ha :laugh: :laugh:

It has a pro circuit pipe and has been re jetted to suit,also has been dyno tuned.

Only thing i need to do is get the suspension sorted to suit my fat arse

Had a quick blat on it last sunday and was very impressed

No rego isn’t a drama for you, you only come to NSW to ride the Monorail not your bike
