40th Anniversary Patch

[ardvark1]

I agree with Mike.

If other members posted there thoughts on the matter then we'd get an idea what members would like.

I would buy a couple if the "E" was left off. Not enough demand for a specific model year anniversary such as for my XJ. A more generic patch would be more attractive to all XS - XJ owners, IMHO.

+1 What Jerry said.

It's not a big deal if the "E" can't go away, I know it's there for hysterical purposes and all of that.

Patch states Yamaha XS1100 40th anniversary. If the E is left off, more people would want the patch. If the E stays, and you don't own a 1978E, why would you be interested? I would not.

This year is the 40 Year celebration/recognition of The First, Original, XS1100 Standard.
Next year will be the 40th for The First, Original, Special
2022 will be the 40th for The First, Original, XJ
2025 will be the 40th for The First, Original, Vmax

All successors are copies not First/Original models so to me it doesn't make sense to recognize their anniversaries.

I'm interested in the patch to show that 40 years ago Yamaha built a machine that kicked the competitions ass and still runs amazingly well today.

E

Leave the E on for mine! That's the anniversary. And frankly, there aren't that many left.

Has an exectutive decision been made?

[newc4]

I had the "E" removed. Patches now in production.

I plan on getting 100, the cost for 50 is about the same. Estimate $1.65 plus shipping, handling (probably another $.60) and PayPal fee.

Wow! is this really all they cost? Like around $3.00 each?

I'll take 3 please.

I just told my wife that my two xs11s are 40 year old classics. She said they are just “old.” No appreciation for good motorcycles!!!
