I stopped by the local Honda/Yamaha Power sports shop, showed him the PICs, he confirmed that they are the leaked Press Kit pictures, confirmed that there will be a DCT and a manual transmission, but nothing else.
Also said he presold two Yamaha Transcontinental's, and the Eluder would be on the showroom floor by 12/3.
.
Do I believe him?? I'll just have to wait and see.
