2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

Ride had two ES and one A. They sold one of the ES's today and took a 2014A in on trade.

This would be a better story if they had taken a 2010 in trade.

Very true RH, very true.

Rubbing a little salt in the waiters wounds...

Saw the '16ES at Adventure with my own eyes! Clutch pull seems the same as my '15. Under the dealer lights, the color is my favorite '06, '12 Cobalt Blue.

Rumor has it that their is a new 2016 FJR 1300ES at Adventure Motorsports in Monroe, WA.But its just a rumor ...

Did you ask them about price?

Nope...I didn't want to know. Although I'll confess, the thought crossed my mind and I was doing some mental math figuring how much the upgrade would cost the CFO!

I bought a 2016 A model today. I did notice that the press pictures do not show the exhaust pipe guard in front of the muffler. The '16s do have them though. A minor thing I know, but just an observation.

Okay, upon review I may be wrong here. I see the press pictures do show the guard on the right side, but not the left. I'll take a look when I pick mine up on Tuesday.

I just read this entire thread.

Well done, one and all.

Let's hope enough 16 sales are adequate for Ms. Yamaha to continue the platform. Iggie's chart is very good. For the dollars vs. improvements, with the reliability, and FUN factor?

I am still stuck trying to wear out a 2006 with more than a mere 200k.

Gotta love the brand..

Was the press picture of the left side? Only the right side has the guard.

You are right, I mean about the right, I mean the left side doesn't have the guard, right. All of that said, I guess it's just a right guard.

If a left side heat shield is important to you, forget about the Yamaha over priced shield. You can buy a universal chrome shield on line for under $25 and free shipping. I suppose the reason Yamaha does not provide a left side shield is because it may interfere with setting the side stand.

Yep, thank you Art. I had the aftermarket ones on my 2008. They worked well and looked OE. I doubt if I'll bother on the '16.

Thought that showroom looked familiar. I just took a picture of that bike yesterday from the other side.

In retrospect I would not bother if I knew how little it offers on the left side. Just another place to clean and polish the area beneath the shield!!

 

[wfooshee]

Another place to.... what?

What are these words you use???

Is my grammar too copious for your diminutive comprehension? Just kidding!!!

Hell, I just got it home, and I'm already polishing it.
