Is there any prayer we'll ever see newer TDMs come to market here in the states?? I sure am jealous when I see all the pics of the later models!!
I don't suppose writing a friendly letter to the Yamaha guys will help..

yup, and i quite like the matt exhausts i think they suite the bike more than the silver/shiney ones, and i'm normally a magpie
just need to sort out that damn huuuuuge enterprise style collector box thingy and it would be very nice.
oh damn, thats another thing i wanna do to it.....
ps. i nearly bought a 9er last week as she was going cheap, they are nice bikes, but i still like the raw looks of the mk1
cant understand yammy not selling 9ers in the USA, is it a legal issue or cost or summat?
has anyone asked them?
ok, now that i have offended about 90% of the people on this forum, and had a bit of a ramble i'm gonna go back to bed

awww....giv us a hug
i dont think there are any haters of the 9
we take the pi$$ for various reasons
jealousy - some would like it but cant afford it
styling - some prefer the looks of the older models
other - some have sentimental attachements to the 850.
i agree with dappers on the re: sale, i'm keeping my mk1 permanently, if i have to sell one, it'll be whatever other bike i have at the time.
