Easy...to piss off all the 2012 buyers who dropped 14 large on leftover '06 bikes. :assassin:Why would they bother with minor changes if an all new one was coming out it '14?
[some Standard features I think the FJR should have or change moving forward are:
I've added Yamaha's likely replies to these feature requests:
- Cruise control NO
- Electronic suspension adjustment (Solo, 2up, touring & sport modes that are touch of the button similar to some Ducati bikes) NO
- Upgraded suspension components in general NO
- Overall modern styling upgrade NO
- More aerodynamic styled saddlebags NO
- Aluminum stock rear topcase rack NO
- 10-15 more HP NO
- Better & more sturdy glove box design (painted aluminum housing & latch instead of plastic) NO
- Dual Helmet Locks NO
I'll even add one:
CHOICE OF COLORS NO
The timing couldn't be more perfect! I may sneak in the compound where my bruised FJR awaits appraisal for repair and take a sledge hammer to it just to be sure she gets a burial one way or another.Hey guys,Looking at the Canadian site it's interesting to see their model line-up of motorcycles starts with:
https://www.yamaha-mo...n=ov&model=4186
goes consecutively through their motorcycle line and ends with:
https://www.yamaha-mo...n=ov&model=4214
That's 4186 to 4214 and I've run every combination in between...and no FJR appears to be listed. I think if it was listed it would be in or flanking the 4192-4196 range. While it's possible it will be 4215 or other number....I'm wondering now if it's being continued.
I just hung up from talking to Yamaha. They said the FJR will be released as a "world" model and that release date is October 2nd.
Straight from the mothership...
Dano
You don't have to wait for the 2014 before you buy an '08 or '09.Dang, now I have to wait until the 2014 FJR is announced before I can buy a new bike!
I do not expect any change than color too...Spoke to my local UK dealer today & they said they don't expect any changes except to the colour in the anouncement on Oct 2nd.
We'll have to wait & see.
