I was traveling thru Concord NH this afternoon and saw a brand new 06 FJR AE at the local Yami dealer in the faster Blue color. I thought they only came in silver?

Wouldn't surprise me. Liquidsilver swapped his SE R1 bodywork for his R1 red...They only do come in silver. Either it wasn't an AE, or since I trust you, more than likely they swapped all the painted pieces from an A. Maybe some really smart, classy, all knowing and powerful customer insisted on the prettier/faster silver color when purchasing just an "A" from the same dealer.
George-was that at Freedom Cycles?I was traveling thru Concord NH this afternoon and saw a brand new 06 FJR AE at the local Yami dealer in the faster Blue color. I thought they only came in silver?
Indeedie, was it Freedom? I'm on my way back to Freedom some time next week. Freedom is where my FJR came from. At the time they were in a dump across the street and could afford to give me a very, very good deal. They were straight shooters and good to work with. I assume they haven't done anything deceptive with the AE, but.... Now that they have moved across the street into the all new glass and stainless steel Taj Mahal of motorcycles I don't know if that effects the way they do business.George-was that at Freedom Cycles?I was traveling thru Concord NH this afternoon and saw a brand new 06 FJR AE at the local Yami dealer in the faster Blue color.

I have an AE and might be interested in such a swap of colored bits. Where are you? I'm in Abq NM.I'm going to be painting mine in the spring time. Blue is cool, but it's too "me too". If someone has a Silver and wants blue, I'd trade and just paint the silver. Holler if you're interested. Have to be reasonably close by - cost too much to ship and I ain't footing the shipping bill.
I'm in Pennsylvania. I don't mind doing the swap remotely. When comes the time, I'll post up again about it and we can work out details. Hell, maybe I'll just do a ride-n-swap. That can be my big trip in the spring time. I do a solo ride each year to some far-off land of wonder and magic just to clear my head and have a little "me" time.I have an AE and might be interested in such a swap of colored bits.

Lemme guess - you are going to paint it Black Cherry :blink:I'm going to be painting mine in the spring time.
Yup Freedon cycle. And contrary to what my wife may tell you, I'm not a complete idot. It was a blue AE and was on the floor for 14,999Indeedie, was it Freedom?

THey have more in inventory on the floor than most dealers sell in a yesr.Indeedie, was it Freedom? I'm on my way back to Freedom some time next week. Freedom is where my FJR came from.

Didn't have my camera with me and the shop will be closed when I go home today. Hopefully, ionbeam will snap us a pic when he goes there this week. For anyone wishing to call the dealer and verify the bike's color the dealer is Freedom Cycle in Concord NH 603-225-2779If you do see a blue AE, chase it down and send us a photo here. Maybe Yamaha isn't telling us something.
Nah, I was kinda thinking something in a dark metallic green, or that Harley metallic chocolate (f'ing gorgeous!), or maybe even Honda yellow. We'll see...Lemme guess - you are going to paint it Black Cherry :blink:I'm going to be painting mine in the spring time.
Good call. Too often, when people repaint they pick a popular, good-looking color. I kinda like your approach of sticking to a color that no one could possibly like, thereby reducing the attention factor, not to mention also reducing the stealability, if that's a word. :yahoo:Nah, I was kinda thinking something in a dark metallic green, or that Harley metallic chocolate (f'ing gorgeous!), or maybe even Honda yellow.
