    I'd go for either the begging angle or the guilt....

    Begging = "Hey H....Remember how you love me so much? Well you could reallllly show me just how much by letting me buy this!"

    Guilt = "You know if I were still single, I'd have bought this. Thanks a lot darling."

    Well my opinion is completly biased, BUY THE DAMN THING.
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    I just put a hold on it.

    My legs have gone all quivery.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I generally use the safety angle as leverage.

    "I need sticky tyres cause they grip better and are safer.

    I need a new helmet, jacket etc because they are the latest technology and are safer.

    I need new pipes so people can hear me coming - ie safer.

    Whoops the new pipes have created a misfire - not very safe mid corner when it stutters......I need a power commander to smooth things out."

    Or in your case Jim, you NEED that bike cause it has the latest tech and as MR says, it is the best sports road bike he has ridden. Good brakes and handling equals safer.

    Just DO IT !!!

    Remember that the 2004 model. The R6 changed heaps with 2005 but yamaha NZ have too many of the old stock to clear before they'll release any of the new models. Still sharp price though.

    I know precisely what I am buying. The R6 for 2005 has had fuel injection, ECU, front end, and front tyre changes. The 2004 R6 is still waaaaay better than I am.

    Yeah, me too. A combination of the safety angle (where it's believable) and the "protecting the investment" angle: "Well, if I don't spend this money on racing camchain tensioners, the engine could well blow up!"
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    In any case, a yellow R6 wouldn't be a banana. Chili pod, maybe.

    It is exactly the same as the picture I posted, sans the US market reflectors.
