2006 Colors?

[garauld]

Nice new board - I like it! Has anyone cnfirmed yet what the 2006 color scheme will be? Is it that rumored 2-tone BMWesque scheme?

 

[SkooterG]

Welcome Garauld!

No confirmation on 06 colors that I am aware of. Best "SWAG" seems to be that blue/silver two-tone which I find hideous. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.

Now that your here - make sure you ski-daddle your butt to the vendors section and post about your most excellent fjr rack with backrest option. Way cool!

Even though I don't need one since I have a Tanji fuel cell, I am thinking of buying one just for the hell of it.

Do you offer a discount for gratuitious ass-kissing?

:lol:

garauld,

If it's the two-tone that I think it might be, Will you do color-matched, two -tone racks? Just trippin"................. B)

 

[twowheelnut]

Ain't gonna be two tone. That won't fly here, NFW. Gonna be red. Bank on it.

 

[Thug]

Two tone puke...red good...black good

 

[quicksilver]

pleease let it be red.....

The two tone is a very lame "low cost, low effort" graphics attempt.

A couple of decals and my 2003 might pass for an '06!!

The same red as the R1 would be awesome.

Aaaaw, c'mon guys.

The two-tone Metallic Silver Feejer looks pretty good

I've seen a couple in motion on our roads and it definitely looks faster than the red one ....

I am telling you its chartreuse. I called it months ago. Just you wait and see! B)

Boy am I glad I was able to order a galaxy blue 05.

That two-tone is not looking too good to me.

 

[Rogue]

Well I may get slammed for this but I would like to see one in person, I think it might look good.

Other than the addition of ABS and the changing colors, have there been any changes over the years? Improved handling, reduced weight, more power? Color doesn't make much difference to me.

I think the 04' non-ABS got larger rotors over the 03' (if I remember correctly). Don't think there were any other changes.

 

[SkooterG]

Going from 03 model to the 04 model has been the only time Yammie made some changes besides colors.

- Added the left fairing storage box

- Added ABS option

- Increased front brake rotors from 300mm to 320 mm

- Front and rear suspension stiffened approximately 10%

- Windscreen height increased by 1.5" and angled back a little bit more.

I think I may be missing a couple more that I am not remembering.

And, after our gang Wilbers install, we discovered that there were several bolt head size differences, too. Big chances to be sure!

I love my Galaxy Blue FJR, but that Electro Jade Green is kinda trick too.

Actually, its "Techno Jade", and yes, I am sportin a chubby for that particular hue.

Too bad it was a "Euro only" offering.

Finally caught one.

This is the 2005 Euro two-tone paint scheme in real life.

Defintely faster than the 2004. :bleh:

 

[Geezer]

Does that two tone paint job include the 6th gear or is that a separate option?

 

[ionbeam]

Ya know, given 10 minutes and a spray can I could make the 06 look a lot better
