    I just saw that tonight. Interesting. If only it were an 1800 V-4 instead of a -twin

    OP thanks for posting that. It looks promising for Yamaha.

    OK being open and transparent here I did feel a slight twinge of smugness when the "owners" were bragging about their "mileage" on their previous rides.

    No doubt it will generate a lot of interest, and I'll certainly be looking to see one in person.

    I really don't want to be negative here, but what the heck is the deal with the v-twin and a belt drive??
    To be honest I was expecting a new engine/platform to compete with the Goldwing, not the HD.

    Looks pretty cool, but that will not compete with a GoldWing.
    For the price they will have a hard time competing with a HD ultra classic.
