I bought one of the semi auto versions about 4 years ago when Yamaha were almost giving them away - less than £10k - and kept it for 2 years and 20,000 miles. Loved it and only moved it on when the weight became too much.
Last week I read about the updated version and with my health improving had a new one delivered.
It's the semi auto one with the usd forks , electric suspension, a lovely pair of Akro's ,and an amazing array of info on the clocks and loads of buttons to play with.
Expensive but brilliant .
The new suspension makes it almost flickable and the motor is sooo smooth. Not for you younger guys I think , stick to the FZ1's and Multistradas, but perfect my trips around Europe.
Salesman told me that the semi auto box adds 10kgs to the weight , but that is balanced by not having a clutch lever. WTF ??
