but...

I was in the dealer today eying the new midnight and the salesman mentioned that the scuttlebutt is that Yamaha is soon to phase out the 1700 in favor of a new 1900 line.

Was wondering if anyone has heard of this and if the Warrior will be revamped or replaced in the process? I miss my Warrior, but should I wait for the new model?

Thanks guys for remembering my daughter. Yes, she is doing well. No relapses. There is one thing though, you could pray that she finally decides on a major in college and graduates in the next two years! I think she has become a professional college student! Graduate dammit! LOL

As for the bike, sure do like the midnight. Could kick myself for selling my warrior. Couldn't justify it with a Hayabusa and a Roadie in the garage. Now the Busa is gone and the Roadie doesn't come close to satisfying my need for speed. So the Roadie's up for sale too.

Any idea of what a good price on a new warrior should be? I've gotten a couple of prices near $12,700 out the door. Being near Daytona and all of the bike dealers being flush from sales generated during bike week, I don't think they're being very competitive. I heard on the news that the local Harley dealer was selling 30 bikes a day during Bike Week, to give you an idea of the volume of sales during the event.

Maybe our site sponsor would be a good source. I'd drive to Alabama for a good deal.

It would be nice to go new, but as you know you don't have to. Check the Classifieds on this site. I've seen some good deals.


Ditto on this. You can really get some great deals used - already with some major mods completed. You'd have more $$ for more mods this way IMHO. If you can find a bike that's one year old - you can still get a new bike rate for financing (it's what I did). Also, if there WERE definite plans for a 1900 Warrior, I think we'd know about it before some smart @ss dealer would. [/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]

It's nice to see you considering coming back! I'm very happy to hear your daughter is doing well too.

You would wait for a rumor on something that might happen? Think of all that riding and fun you would let pass you by because you waited. Get one now, and get something later.

He's still got at least 2 bikes, including a Busa. I think he can wait.

Just one now Shawn. Sold the Busa and the Roadie's up for sale too.

Always said that if I could only have one bike, it would be the Warrior. It just does so many things so well.

Well, went a completely different route. Got an excellent deal on a 2007 FJR this weekend. Very nice sport-tourer with lots of nice features. Looks like I'll be doing some cross-country touring this year!

You're relentless...
Nice bike BTW.
...any chance you'd like to swap a ride on my R1 for your vette?

Me relentless? I think you have the market cornered there!

As for the swap, I think it would have to be more than a ride. How 'bout the R1 and about $30k? [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]

Here's the FJR:
