Well, we heard it in post #14 first. Of course, that's the first time we heard it this year.bruinFJRguy posted: Kenny Roberts design. You heard it hear first.

GAWD...If someone mentions that butt-******-ugly Kenny Roberts, or Kenny Loggins paint scheme again, I'm gonna puke. Ooooooooooh, Yellow, black, and white, with blocks. BLOCKS! OMG!!! Jeebus guys, that **** is like 60 years old. Let it go.
Hahahahah...Mainly just kicking up ****, but I really do think it would be ugly on this bike.

I love those colors and paint scheme on a track bike, but on a FJR? Now this is what I'm talking about..........

In all honesty, I was, myself, kicking up ****.

We have a beautiful Silver and also a Black for 2017 up here in the Great White North. I suspect we'll see Blue in 2018.

Spy photo of new 2018 FJR1300 now online!
Due to complaints about excess weight and soft paint, Yamaha has redesigned the FJR for 2018:

See, HotRodZilla, that's why you're not an artist, art teacher, or a museum curator: YOU HAVE NO TASTE.
And who cares how old it is? If you're good, you're good. (At least that's what the 30-year-old women around here say to me ...)

That color scheme would be a hit in the Castro in San Francisco!!!Here's the color for 2018. Now everybody's happy.

Now, see Russ? On that bike, it's pretty cool. Not so much on an FJR I think. However, I've been wrong before!

Is that a matte blue? And as an only choice?
Edit two minutes later - Yes, yes it is. Guess we're getting the same down here. AND the choice of an ES or A again also.

Well folks, everyone's got an opinion.
The 2018, in MY opinion, is by far the ugliest FJR I have ever seen.
Matte finish on a touring motorcycle. (sigh)

Almost as bad as the gawd-awful pink they thought was a good idea in 2014...
For what its worth, the Canadian site describes the 2018 colour as "Matte Dark Purplish Metallic Blue", whatever that is.
Thanks for the first official post I've seen. This speculation thread is retired and replaced with the new actual announcement thread.
