Remember that feeling when you were a kid, and you had That One Thing that you really wanted for your birthday? Or maybe it was a holiday present. Anyway, remember how excited you got when all the hints you'd been dropping were clearly received by your loved ones, and you got what you wanted?
Conversely, do you remember how sad you were when the day came and went, and it turned out that no one got you That One Thing after all? Well, um, we have some news for you. Yamaha US just announced the rest of its motorcycle lineup for 2024.
If you (like me) were hoping that the XSR900 GP would be in those ranks, you'll just have to keep that hope alive for next year. That bike certainly looks like a very nice thing, but unfortunately it's a nice thing that we in the US apparently can't have. (At least, not yet.)

If you're in the US, are you sad that we don't get the XSR900 GP this year? If you're in Europe, are you getting a distinct sense of "neener neener" at riders across the pond? Are you happy that one of your other favorites is listed, or maybe (dis)pleased with the colors that are offered? Let us know in the comments.
