2006 FJR

Nice pics Stef!!! With the front fairing changes it looks as though the 06 is a little more aggressive.

More comfort, faster looking, and maybe quicker due to air intake changes, and still looks like a motorcycle. Hard to beat that....

Looks like the cans are higher...good, no more scraping them.

Standard Linked ABS.

I like linked breaks.

They address the heat issue too.

wish they's put out a color I can see. How about flat black Yamaha!

That double-image gif isn't perfect- I wouldn't put much faith in the notion that under the skin (plastic, seat, etc.), the basic geometry is different from before, except where Yamaha said so (longer swingarm). Since dragging the cans hasn't been a big complaint (compared to heat, etc.), why would they muck with it?

Guess who is on the other forum telling all the newbies who are discussing the 06::

Yes it is the one and only forum prick of note.

The dam thing is going to tick like hell anyway!!!

I think the '06 looks great...any info on an alternator upgrade?
