Default 08 Royal Star Tour Deluxe

I really like the look of the bike and the V-4, but I'm a little put off by the lack of fuel injection. It's a shame, because the 5 year warranty is the longest of any of the Yamahas. I also noticed there is no 09 Royal Star shown on their site, are they not putting out these bikes in 2009?

Agreed, that's why I went to look at the 09's, to see if they upgraded to FI, and didn't see the line in there at all. Guess they plan on selling a ton of V-rod's. Ooops, I guess the price threw me, I mean VMAX's.
