Now I have often said the mid weights are an unappreciated segment of
the motorcycle market. That said until today I was wondering why
Yamaha would introduce a 950 to the existing 650, 1100 and 1200 series
of V-Stars.
Today I heard from a very credible source as of 2011 the 650 and 1100
will be dropped from the Star line. Now the 950 makes perfectly good
sense.
If your passion for motorcycles leans to the cruiser/tourer niche
there are some exciting things happening out there.
The new Voyager looks to me to be a winner. If you can get by the name
and the styling the Star Liners are real stump pullers. While waiting
for a ferry a few weeks back I had the chance to see the new Victory
Vision and chat with the proud owner. It is a very cool bike. Toss in
Yamaha's raider and the Motor Company's new 09's, without a doubt this
truly is the Golden Age for bikers.
Let's enjoy it.

A bit of a mystery why they listed fuel economy figures in imperial gallons
on the Canadian site. Do Canadians use Imperial Gallons? Aren't the
Canadians metric? It has been a while since I've been in Canadianland.
The 950 looks great.
The downside is that I never buy a car or bike until at least the 3rd year
of production. They need time to sort out the various issues with any new
item.

Hence my last cage purchase: 2004 Chevy Classic, which is identical to
the 2003 Malibu except that Chevy kept making the identical car as a
fleet-only model.

Glad we think alike. The engineers need time to address stuff that breaks,
and me the consumer doesn't want to be a victim.
