[davegsxrold929r]

how much was it if you do not mind ???

i am looking !!!! ;D

[TZDeSioux]

It was 18,750 to my airport. If you want a 03.. it's too late. There's no more. I believe the advance order date is october. There's some Honda RS250R still available for about the same price.

[Gixxer124]

WOW! You could buy like 5 GSXR's for that much. :o ;D

[TZDeSioux]

no you couldn't! Buy 1 brand new GSXR600 $8000. By 1 set of aftermarket bodywork $700. Buy Aftermarket shock $900. Get some forkwork done $400. Buy aftermarket exhaust $800. Buy race dot tires $340. Wire and prep for racing.... and you got damn near $18,000  :P

[Gixxer124]

Hey, UR wrong. I spent $3500 on my bike. $3500 X 5 =$17,500.  :P :P :P

Or just have one of the factory teams build you a bike...they generally go for $8500-$12,000 depending on who, what, where, when, etc....

I know some of the factory supported teams sell their bikes at the end of the year. Wouldn't be a bad idea to buy one of them. They seem to sell it for a pretty decent price too. Now only if I'd stop liking them 2 stroke GP bikes so much.. I could probably save myself a boat load of money by racing a four stroke of some sort.  :)

I just gotta give BIG props and thanks to Super_Duck for sponsoring me this year w/ a new 03/TZ250.
Gonna be a fun season, and I owe it all to him 8)

When should I come by and pick up my new ride, Brian? ;D

hah.. you done lost your mind? Don't you know TZ's are not good for doing wheelies and stuff?  ;D ;D

[Speedballer347]

hahahaha :D
I heard they did mean stoppies though ;)

Was great meeting you in Chicago, Brian! 8)

[chris_chops]

When are we picking it up?  I'm cleaning out the back of the truck today.  Call me, sucka!

[TZDeSioux]

I wouldnt know about any stoppies. I don't know how to do them on purpose yet.  ;D

It was cool meeting you too. You're a funny fella. :)

[TZDeSioux]

When are we picking it up?  I'm cleaning out the back of the truck today.  Call me, sucka!

I will as soon as I know the exact delivery time and date. By the way... my best at Assen on Takuma Aoki's bike is 1:59.48 I should be into the 58's by end of this week. Can't believe how difficult it  is to find the extra few tenths.

[TZ_Boy]

Brian e-mail me when you get it so I can come by and drool on it after work.  Did you check out the R1 tank decal's at the show?  Let me know if you want a pair.

[TZDeSioux]

Paul,
email me your number.. I'll call you when I get it so you can come by and see it. And yes I saw the tank emblem. It is very cool. How much is a pair? I do want some! bdkwak@leopardo.com

[motomadness]

Hey, I'm new to Yami-land.  I'm also interested in the stickers.

Brian, call me too.  I want to see it in it's raw form.

[TZDeSioux]

Hey now... the tank decals are for 2 year veterans of the Yamaha TZ! You'll have to wait till next year!  ;D ;D I'll give you a ring too when I pick up the bike.

[motomadness]

I should get one because this is my second year racing a two-stroke and I decided to go towards the bright light of the TZ.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

[TZDeSioux]

Good point! you deserve a set! :)

[Super Dave]

I had a TZ in 1988 and 1989.  How about the TR2 that was in "Little Fauss Big Halsey" that I rode?  Does that count?  Can I have some?  And what would I be getting? ;D :o

[TZDeSioux]

Dave..
you're special! you deserve two! :)

[Super Dave]

LOL!

[Protein Filled]

Dave is so special, he even goes to the track on the short bus... ;D

[motomadness]

 :D :D :D

[TZDeSioux]

Correction!!! My TZ does not arrive this week  :'(

[Dawn]

Correction!!! My TZ does not arrive this week  :'(

Boy - that sucks!

When is supposed to be here now?

Dawn   :-/

[TZDeSioux]

Okay.. here's the problem. The VIN on the bike that arrived does not match the VIN on my invoice. The VIN on the bike belongs to a fellow in England who ordered it in September and according to Yamaha Japan my bike will not be released until March 7th out of it's 2nd production run. So my broker is going to contact the fellow in England and see if he's willing to wait 2 more weeks to get his bike and if he's okay with that... the bike will be mine. Otherwise I have to wait till sometime in March to get the bike. My broker has agreed to eat the cost difference between ocean freight and air freight for the mistake so it should take no longer than a week to get my bike once their shop in Japan gets the bike from Yamaha Japan. Lets hope the English fellow is in no hurry to get his bike.  :-/ The price one must pay to buy a GP bike. Good Lord!

[TZ_Boy]

Brian just call me at work when you do get it.  847 359-4844.  I ordered your emblems today they are less than $20 for the pair.  Sean you can't have these tank emblems/sticker's as they are for a '03 R1 and will only fit '03 Yamaha model's. ;D

...  :-/ The price one must pay to buy a GP bike. Good Lord!

Good Lord is right!

Waiting sucks!

[TZDeSioux]

Just got word that the prick in England wants his bike asap. So I have no choice to wait till march. I just hope I can make it to the first round at Blackhawk now. I will most definately be using a different broker the next time I buy a bike from Japan.  :'(
