2017 FJR- Anyone heard anything?

[Steel_Gin]

6 gears? Don't need 'em.
Slipper Assist? Got it on my '14 and you can put one on any year FJR in an afternoon for $300 in parts.

I agree about that blue color. I liked my '05 blue better, but that's subjective and personal opinion.

The one thing that Yamaha could do that would be a true game changer for the FJR IMO would be to spend some R&D time and money on killing the 4K rpm vibes. Other than that, any 3rd Gen FJR is already a perfect ST bike.

I agree with you on the 4K vibes.

With a hard mounted engine that is a stressed member of the chassis I'm amazed that it is as smooth as it is. And yes, the Gen III FJR is THE perfect ST bike.

You think wifey will notice the upside down forks?

I wonder if they added that chrome wing up front to minimize the damage in case of tip over.

Take a close look at both photos. Apparently Yamaha just Photoshopped from the '16 color into the '17 monochrome except for the little chromeie bit up front and the chrome cummerbund around the base of the gas tank. Everything from the '16 model carries over to the '17 model without change, including the promotional picture.

Glad I got my 16...JSNS
