2015 FJR1300 Information Released!

[SkooterG]

And the color is............


Liquid Graphite.



With gloss black on the adjustable side panels, fuel tank trim piece, and rear rack.



Here are some photos of first 2015 in the Yamaha Demo Fleet available for riding today at AIMExpo. I had to put the first 100 miles on it yesterday. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.


Let the fodder begin!!!

That'll work, nice color combo!

Thanks for taking one for the team Skoot!

[HotRodZilla]

Hmmmmmmmmm....I kinda like it!!

 

[steve_g]

nice!

 

[redjay]

Not appealing to me. Blue would be my colour of choice.

 

[Geezer]

That's a big change from red. It's not my style, but a lot of people will like it.

Now how about that WR450R? I'm off to the Yammie website to see what else is happening.

Edit: That new YZF-R3 looks like a winner for the entry level market. Good price, too.

??????

No changes except color?

Is it an ES?

Is a ES even available?

And, if the ES is available what color will it be?

What is the setting range of the cruise control?

 

[Fred W]

That is clearly an "A". Assume the ES is the same color?

Well, at least it won't show the dirt.

Too plain of a color for me (did you ever see a bass bote painted gray?) Gray is not really a color, more like a lack opf color.

But those conservative folks that didn't like the flashy red or blues on the past should be happy. I'm glad I got a '14.

Hey... maybe Yammi US marketing is alternating that each year? Colored (blue) '12, dull gray '13, colored (red) '14, dull gray '15, ...

 

[albee]

Nice color, people who don't love red will be happy. I'm glad it's not blue, I can resist graphite.

 

[Cav47]

That's Cool.

But the real questions are .......Is that paint really soft????

\

And what color is the 2016 gonna be????

Just kidding....

 

[SkooterG]

ES is the same color. No other changes that I am aware of.

 

[Fred W]

edit - Skooter beat me by a millisecond.

Just checked the Yamaha Web site. The 2015 FJR models are now listed. Both A and ES are Liquid Graphite. No other changes from 2014 are noted.

The wait is over. Go out and snap up those 2014 leftovers!

 

[BigOgre]

Damn.

 

[Abercrombie FJR]

That is one of my favorite colors for FJRs and miss my 08 AE in that color.

 

[PhilJet09]

I definitely like it better than the red, no offense to any '14 owners.

 

[MCRIDER007]

I have been waiting for 3 years for Yamaha to put the inverted fork on the A model, probably is not going to happen next year either. If anyone wants to trade the new color for red let me know.

 

[08FJR4ME]

That's it, Some bright green side stripes and I am all over it. Come on spring time. May have to do another trip to D&H.

Droooooooooooooling,

Dave

Top picture looks like the UK's magnetic bronze to me.

Liquid Graphite color: thud

Sharp, “two-eyed” headlights with daytime LED running lights add to visibility and modern styling, and feature easy-access adjustment knobs so the rider can adjust the lights up or down.
