Slow Start

[Simmons1]

Looks like the new forum is off to a slow start. Must be most of the S10 folks have no interest in the T7.

Looks like this forum has a big head start:

Yamaha Tenere 700 Forum

The first and largest Yamaha Tenere 700 Forum. Come talk about the T7!

Might have something to do with no bikes available and most of the world shut down.

Agreed.

I had spoken to and stopped at a local dealer here in Michigan. This was pre-pandemic (early Feb). The sales manager wanted a $500 non-refundable deposit to do anything around a T7. As the conversation progressed, he said he'd have to call his Yamaha rep to find out if they could even take a deposit. That dealer got burned on a Rikken - ordered it with no deposit and buyer backed out due to health related events. That dealership has had their lights out and shuttered since late February; I imagine they will be eager to move units once things open back up. We'll see - hopefully Yamaha can push some units into the states by July or August.
