Seems they got holeshot. Others waiting monday.
Europe had a different embargo than US. We all signed NDAs, so breaking our specific embargo date and time can be quite troublesome.

Interesting. I didn't hear a single rider on the US test wave I was on have any clutch issues. I was actually there the next day when they re-prepped all of our bikes. Clutches were checked and none were replaced.

This bike sure seems like it is a winner. Yamaha really tackled the negative thoughts on it while trying to maintain the positives.

Is the motor lowered 5mm like the team was running when Dylan won the championship?

It's a new motor with stacked transmission, different dimensions, different mounts, different weight, and different center of gravity. Frame is new, too.

Still curious if it’s the same swing arm. Looks very similar and can hold the same shock and rear wheel. Any confirmation on this?

Talked to our dealer today, he said they were only scheduled to get ONE all year! Thankfully that one is supposed to go to us, and will hopefully be here this month!!!

Anyone else got an ETA?

They come in waves. Just because the dealer above is showing 4 coming in for November, that doesn't mean that is all that they are getting for the year. I got my 250F on the last wave in the spring and it was 1 blue and 1 monster, but they had gotten plenty over the course of the year, before that. It's just broken up into segments.

If each dealer is only getting a hand full do the math.... Dealer mark ups here in SoCal have been $1700. I hope I'm wrong. Haven't had a Yamaha since my PW50, would love to try one!
