Very interested to know the rpm at say 70 mph in 6th? Thanks.

Try earlier in this thread here or here.

Ah so, thanks!

70 mph engine puts along at 3,500 rpm about all i can hear is the wind and very faintly the driveline it's pretty nice.

Great, thanks for the real world input.

Generally I do not buy first edition vehicles for the obvious reasons.

But you bought a first edition ES?

It would be nice if they added blind spot monitoring like on my current cars.

Seriously???? Sitting out there in the open, with nothing blocking your view, and you want blind spot monitors?!??!?!

I am posting this picture just to make those whom are still waiting for their 16s jealous. I put 300 miles on her over the weekend for a total so far of 430, already made the appointment at Snake River Yamaha for the first service.

"While the conventional 48mm fork remains on the FJR1300A, the fork and shock manufacturer is now KYB, and the fork itself is fully adjustable (manually), with revised settings for more damping character and feel, says Yamaha. The rear monoshock also receives revised settings, with rebound and preload adjustability."

Marketingspeak...... we had that on Gen 1....... albeit we had adjustments on both forks, not just the right side like GenIII. BTW, I'm wondering what is "more damping character and feel"? And that good old shock with it's rebound adjuster and Soft/Hard settings...... well it did get a stronger spring back in 2013........

Bellerophan - find looking bike, indeed. I swear that blue looks darker than the '06/'12. I've brought that up before, and many of your have corrected me. But my German ancestry sometimes bleeds through my thick skull. I can't wait to see one in the flesh and put that to rest once and for all.

Regardless - she's a looker. No doubt about that.

You'll see mine...and maybe a couple others at the SEO Ramble...

Ya know, if that thing ever comes in you will have to find a new hobby to take up your time. Have you ever thought about getting into motorcycling?

Nice '16, congrats! Just me I'm sure, but the black wheels look so out of place. YMMV.

Nice review, wondering about the vibration creeping in a 4k is all about? Seems to imply the 5-speed didn't do this but the 6 does.

Ah yes, the 4k vibration of in-ine 4's......... in theory the 6 speed will change the speed at which this occurs......

Mine should be arriving in town tomorrow or Thursday. Went and registered the bike at the DOL this morning. Moved my 'GoRide' license plate from the ST1300 to the FJR.
