..Local joint out here has the paperwork that Yamaha sent on discontinuation of the model which is where im getting the data from. It could be a regional thing or something...
Kardiac,
Interesting. The factory rep did say in July they would evaluate US sales for the remainder of 2013, so it could be they are planning to let existing FZ8 inventory run out and decide from there year end. I guess we will have to wait and see. If they stop importing FZ8s in the US, I'm definitely keeping mine as it will be great to own something in limited production for the US.
And, if nobody is talking about the real markup price of the first batch of FZ09s. IF they are as cool as they look on paper, I know dealers who won't just let them go at list price. Who knows, they could sell for more than FZ8s for the entire first year until the new-hype wears down. We'll see...
BTW: I see you are in Hagerstown. I lived in MD as a kid, spent all of my younger year summers back there with family in Northern and Southern MD, in Calvert Co. Grew up riding bikes and racing motocross back there as a kid. I sure miss the Green woods and all the soft brown dirt back there. We made big dirt tracks along the Chesapeake Bay woods. Those were the times back then in the 70s and 80s growing up on YZs, Honda Elsinores and more... Farm kids, riding on farms, and motocross came in pairs back then.
