Ummmm...since the announcement came out less than two days ago AND Yamaha no longer does a PDP program AND there are still a bunch of cheaper '08 on the showroom floors AND almost everybody here has a bike already....I'm going to guess it's zero.

Love the Picture psychic...
Yeah it's too bad about yamaha not continuing the PDP program pay and wait...would have been a better name for it.
I joined on the same day as I went with my Dad's to his new dealer for maintenance and ensured my place as first on the li$t.
So there is one ordered I have a 92 ST100.

Must have had so much trouble getting rid of the 08 ravens that they just relabled them as 09s. I like the black rims though

I'm happy with my black '08, but don't understand the logic of the same color for '09. The FJR is a fabulous bike overall, why all the complaining? I'm starting to think I stumbled into the Goldwing board - aka: Grumpy Old Men.

Pay attention, folks....this is without a doubt THE most inciteful, intelligent post EVER on this forum.
So exactly what are they losing by repeating black? No matter what color there will always be a segment of the population that abhors their decision. Yes, some people already bought black ones, so what? I'm sure that not all people that would buy a black one did already.
Besides, if you really, really want a different color, go find a used one from one of the other 6 model years and 8 (?) colors, or paint it the color you like.
I really don't see why the color is such a big freekin' deal. You guys sound like a bunch of god damn wimmens.

I have a perfectly good 06 blue one. I'm the kind of person that likes to buy new every two to three years. I don't want black. That might make me a god damn wimmen, but regardless of what it makes me, it's one less FJR that Yamaha will likely sell in 09. So what does that make Yamaha?So exactly what are they losing by repeating black? No matter what color there will always be a segment of the population that abhors their decision.

The photoshopped "Stealth" model looks great!
The black rims on the stock model do look cool. I'm glad Yamaha didn't give me an excuse to make up excuses to get rid of my 05. Thanks Yamaha! This reminds me of 2004/05 when the Faster Blue Gen I's were offered up for a "second" PDP. :glare:
What came up next? The Gen II 2006. Another year to flush out the inventory ( and this year was bad (worse for Yamaha than some others for sure IIRC)), and get the re-tooling together. With so little change in this model and how Bimmer and Kawi have upped the ante in the class. Suzuki coming around with the B-King tour model. Yamaha needs to respond. :elf:
2010 is looking like to model year for the Gen III. Surely they are not going to pedal this little of an upgrade for two years. :huh:
P.S. There's nothing on this board above the most detailed scrutiny. Rest assured of that! :derisive:

I wonder what they consider wet. If it's just gas a full tank of gas would take the 08 to about 624 lbs. Did they add a 17 lbs clutch improvement or are do they include all fluids in the dry estimate. Including the essential fluids in the dry estimate just seems dumb. Either way I think their disguising the fact that all these minor improvements keep coming at a HEFTY price.

This makes the rare 2006 cobalt blue more valuable. :yahoo: (not much more)
But make sure you add one of them to the banner with the two back to back black years. :assassin:

I think all the remarks about the color is,that they didn't release any info about changes/updates.So color is the only thing that we know about(with the exception of a softer clutch).
