What I thought was a little strange, was that the Yamaha "poster couples" had less than 100,000 miles on their bikes. The ST1100/1300 forum has quite a few members with 200,000 plus on their Honda ST's....and the record was more than 350,000 miles on the original motor without a rebuild. I betcha the Goldwing forum has similar high mileage results.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Best regards, There are quite a few cruisers in the $30-40k range. That is why sales are sagging.

Is that common for Yammys?

Best regards,

Absolutely true, it is their policy to cut off all parts after 10 years, and then after 15 years they will liquidate any remaining dealer stocks of parts. Yamaha intends to sell you a NEW replacement bike.

I am surprised Yamaha can sell anybody a bike.

Sure their machines run well but so many bikes end up being 20 years old with 20,000 miles on them ... then the next owner finds them in a barn somewhere.

I've had three Yamaha bikes all three had brush type alternators' and all three developed burned-out-electro magnets . Then I suffered sticker shock on replacement parts. One time I remanufactured a Honda permeant magnet instead of using another electro-magnet .

No more Yamaha s for me , they might have made a few good bikes but their Marketing department is not in touch with reality !

I really like the looks of the Scrambler with the Bolt motor. But , I've been burned by Yamaha three time and my Savage still runs GREAT !!!

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.

I swore-off yamahas after that. Fast forward 30 years...........I just picked up a barn fresh 30 yr. old Virago 535 w/2800 miles. Cheap. Will try and start it soon. The Savage doesn't mind sharing the garage, must not know what virago means!

Reply #22 - 06/06/17 at 21:05:02 Interesting comment MM, I'm quite taken with the standard Bolt and have sat on one a few times. I could buy, but won't as the S40 does 90% of what I want in a bike. Kawasaki 800 is an interesting alternative.
