What I think Joe is trying to say, is if you go back through this most interesting thread you will find your answer. Our own McAtrophy as usual, has given us the answer neatly laid out where we can all understand it.
If you refer to page 33 of this thread, post #654 and then also to page 34 post 663 you shall surely find that which you seek.

No offense, but I think Yamaha contributed to this. They could have and should have made it possible for me to do business with my dealer of choice.
I've already forgotten about it and look forward to my new FJR. All's well that ends well.

I'm gonna need a new one of those myself......next time y'all see me I'll be on my 2016 ES
I'm aware of McAtrophy's analysis of the gear ratios. For my personal interest I am anxious to see if the modification of my final drive along with the 190/55 rear tire accomplished the same result as the 6th gear. I have now gained a net 5MPH over stock setup in 5th gear. Let's see if the 2016 provides the same or better?? After receiving an owner's report I will bury the dead horse!!I think Joe is trying to say, is if you go back through this most interesting thread you will find your answer.

Once again nobody talked about actual performance. Once again they claim that the new 6 speed has shorter gearing in the bottom 5 gears. The lean sensing cornering lights didn't work. A rider over cooked his corner entry speed and blamed the ABS. Nothing else to see here, move on....

Thanks. Not the best of reviews, wish he had contrasted it with a Gen III. And, I disagree with his opinion about this not being a sport tourer.
And as far as the cornering lights not working, I wonder if they are light sensitive, so with a camera flash, maybe they turn off?

Most of the pictures I've seen with them in action were day shots. I think they come on day or night??
That article told me nothing specific regarding actual MPH to RPM ratio in 6th gear. They simply say it is taller than the earlier model's 5th gear. I will rely on a new owner to make that very easy test. Hopefully the horse will not get too pissed off with the beatings!!

Yeah, I can see why you would rather have an eyewitness account of, "At about such and such RPM I was doing about this many miles per hour" instead of the exact mathematical calculations. The impressions of the rider staring at his instrument cluster at speed has to be more accurate than those silly calculations.
