I thought you are talking about the tires on your bike. They come from the same lot,and age together. But frankly, there's no way they'll last 5 yrs, unless you put the bike inside an Air-conditioned showcase...
- I know they will fix new tyres on stoke bike, what about when I want to choose new (read here fresh one) tyres for my bike. Does tyre has MF date?

Uhh, most probably. I don't know. I think the date is printed on the tire (may be horribly wrong with this one).

But yeah, I get your point. I'd suggest smelling the tire. No, seriously! Fresh ones have a unique smell...

Don’t judge Yamaha production base on the website, they haven’t upgrade it on regular basic.
The limited edition bikes have some fix no unit had decided to produce. If that as been
Cover, may be they stop making it.

Better you direct email to Yamaha customer care, they will guide you very well.

^^^^ Eventually, yes!
Dealer is making a wrong attempt as providing you with the wrong information.

The new limited edtion colours are available & selling (though its a limited lot, so go get the chick).

In my neighbourhood, Three people, in last two months, bought the new red & white colour and another guy had bought this new blue colour (the one with diffrent stickers) & are happily cruizing.

I would suggest you to check another dealer.
