2018 FJR release details?

Throw us a burnt orange,

+1. I"ve been suggesting that color for years. I just bought a '16 in gorgeous blue, but I'd still be all over a burnt orange model in a New York minute.

Now I know where the left over gray pannels come from that they put on the 2014's.

Wonder what the designers were going for with that. Maybe trying to accent the engine bay instead of the bodywork? In the pic it looks like the tail section is silver also.

The Grateful Dead tie die look would cover most of the colors one would want. LOL

Ye Gods. Started already. It's not even September!!!

But I also vote for the Kenny Roberts treatment. Man! That would be badass with the bags off!

 

[Ditch]

Silver Yamaha, for the love of god PLEASE! Give us Silver!

Why on Earth would colors that don't show as much dirt not be popular of a touring bike?

 

[Old Michael]

..... badass with the bags off!

Geez, that just flows!

Well done, Hudster!

Doesn't matter what color it will be: my 05 will probably be around longer than I will. Ha... I can still remember dad saying, "At my age son, I don't even buy green bananas..."

I don't care about the color. l just want it to have at least seven gears.

I don't need seven gears. Got up on the highway today, got the tunes cranked, buzzing right along, thinking she feels a little peppier than normal, look down, crap still in third.

Burgundy is gorgeous.

So seriously, when will we know?

Reread post #5. Seriously.

It will be something boring. Probably liquid silver.

I am trying to wait to see the new color before I decide what year to buy.. If I like the 2018 color that's my bike but if I don't like the color I will probably buy a discounted 2017. I really wish I knew how long before they announce the new color. I haven't been without a bike for a long time, and this is the first day without a bike and it's already killing me lol.

Well, we heard it in post #14 first. Of course, that's the first time we heard it this year.
