I think you misspoke.

It's all a matter of perspective. In this case we are comparing to JWilly, in which case Mr. Lumberg is quite normal. Compared to the rest of us, eh, not so much.

I think you wear them out faster than anyone through normal riding. I think Yamaha keeps the FJR going just for you and JWilly, ya'll are an official part of the balance sheet.

Talked to a rep with the largest dealer network in the area yesterday. They no longer accept any trade ins with more than 50k, at any price, and they have no FJR’s ordered. If they ordered, their estimate is 3-6 months to delivery.

I’m not smart enough to figure out what’s driving it. Lack of new stock, excess used inventory, who knows. It’s just entirely opposite of normal. Whether it’s Covid buying patterns or stock issues, it’s baffling.

The only thing that makes sense is that dealers have made used bikes a much bigger part of their business model. Time will tell.

Instead of trading like normal, or selling to a private party, it’s got me considering buying new (something I can find in stock) or used and keeping my current bike. Between Covid hysteria and market shifts, it’s like living in Oz.

I was on a call this week where a D.C. analyst was reporting that this or that place was in lockdown or quarantine. I was like- no they’re not. They have no reason to be, and I just left there.

Crazy times. Ride safe.
