I Just bought this new leftover 2009 Yamaha Midnight Warrior last week. I put a few miles on the Warrior today and I can honestly say that I do not miss the Mean Streak. Here are a few pictures.

So how much was the Midnight Warrior in the Land of Enchantment? I am assuming that it is a Cali model with the special emissions.

Good eye... I use the box to slide the bike over to the side of the wall. A few pictures of my 07 Mean Streak. Kosman 6.25 inch rear wheel, Muzzy pro pipe, Thunder mfg AIK, EJK Gen 3.5 FI Module, Mustang seat, Competition Werkes rear turn signals, Progressive HD rear shocks and Hiway Hawk Cyclone front headlight.

Traded in wife's seldom used Mean Streak 2K miles in 2 years for a new '09 in May ...
Warrior has > 2K already - truly a different bike compared to meanie
simply put:
Meanie = Mellow
Warrior = Fun

Two thumbs up on the fun factor. I just love the way the warrior rails around corners. I already have a new Avon Cobra 200/55/17. The Avon should give me a little bit more ground clearance. On the Mean Streak I was running a Dunlop Q2 190/55/17 on a Kosman 6.25 inch which gave me a lot more ground clearance.

Welcome to the Forum and making the leap to a Warrior. I cant believe no one grabbed that bike in 3 years at a stealership. Maybe thats why cuz they wanted too much for it to begin with. Hopefully you got a good deal and let the Modding begin. Everyone else's loss is your gain. First thing to go for me would be the Stock exhaust water tank. Thats the one thing that looks ugly on the Warrior. IMO!
