Man.. I read this after I buy a 99 sj... I was gonna by a kawi aswell to play with, but I"m interested to see this new 08. It sounds like its built for more carving then freeride??

 

[MADMAT]

I just called a local dealership and said whats up and they said bring us a grand and we will order you one. I debating!!!!

He seemed to think no changes were coming but he admitted he really had no idea. I toild him about the X and PWCToday and rumors and blah blah blah.

I'm half ass slightly considering ordering one but the deposit is non refundable.

When will we know for sure that a least something has changed?

Officially Sept 14th but as you know there will be a few runnin around long before that.. when you see a picture of one on here take a close look to see if its production or pre-production (proto type) until its on yamahas web site (sept 14th +or-) there is always time for changes.. I hope it keeps the same name for compition reasons.

THEY WOULDN'T DARE CHANGE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigeyes:

 

[SuperJETT]

We'd have to change from 'Get a Super Jet' to something else, oh the humanity!

 

[ROTATION]

Heard that a new standup is definitely coming, don't know what the specs are yet.

 

[waxhead]

yeah the same name is important
got to do that

 

[djkorn1]

I really don't think they can change the name or the design too much in order to keep selling it as a 2 stroke.

I think that is why the X-2 cannot be sold here.

Yami is Japanese as we all know. If you've ever done business or are well versed in Japanese culture you will know that longevity and loyalty are 2 important things to them.

They just brought back the Phazer in 07', brought the name from the past with a completely new chassis. Thats a hard thing to do especially when the machine totally changed.

Chevy Impala, Monte Carlo, Ford Thunderbird, Dodge Charger, etc, they all do it.

except they never stopped making a t-bird did they?

 

[jacob06]

if thier smart they'll keep making the superjet the way that it is until the feds wont let em anymore.and add a new stand up to thier line up.some kind of 4 stroke racer type thing.that way they can get everyones money

 

[SuperJETT]

except they never stopped making a t-bird did they?

Yes, they stopped making it mid-90's and I don't think there was one at some point in the 70's/80's either.

I heard there was a super secret test ride going on this morning at a few different locations.. Anyone else hear anything ?
One in the south and one out here in the west !!

That is a decision by Kawasaki to not market them here.......

America is full of lazy fat asses on couches... that's the technical reason..
:biggrin:

 

[DAG]

I hope the 08 SJ has a cup holder, heated seat and handlebars, crews control, and the 1 touch backflip button,

 

[CarFanatic]

:haha:

 

[tilleryrat]

wouldn't a 4 stroke add weight?

 

[djkorn1]

A 4 Stroke would be worthless (Slow, Heavy and will ingest water like a MOFO). It will not be a 4 stroke.
