Yours is the first comment I have seen about a pillion. Great to see you are impressed as virtually all of my riding will be 2 up.

Oh, and I collect it TODAY, all farkled up and horribly expensive. i.e, screen, wind deflectors, crash bars, tank bag, heated grips and Halfords style spot lights.

The cost is a real issue but unfortunately the price is pretty well out of Yamahas control. Had the Yen not lost 30 odd % of its value in the last 2 years the bike would have been a bit over �9000. It still costs them the same to make the thing in Japan. This also explains why it is cheaper than the GS/GSA (sorry for swearing) in countries that do not use the Euro or Pound.
