Any rumor on the 2016...?

desirable Gen3 improvements ...

... can't think of any. Hope it comes in a color I don't like.

my sentiments exactly, Uncle Hud

Having missed out on the '14 color I'm kinda hoping that Yamaha comes out with a nice color. Especially not the silver I have been looking at for 11 years. I could be on the market for a fly 'n ride for a low mile '14 ES if the color isn't what I'm looking for. I could even live with the previously pictured 2016 FJR1400 white.

I read on the other forum that the release date for the 2016 models is tomorrow - 10/6. I'm anxious to see the new color but since I just got my bike 6 months ago it won't really matter. It just better not be blue since that's the color I REALLY wanted.

Still wish MammaYamma would do a base color each year, and a "special" edition also...maybe something like the below...

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Pay a little homage to King Kenny and bring out the yellow. The thought of having to paint a new bike pains me a bit, but yellow just rocks. Especially THAT paint scheme.

The new 2016 FJR1400?

Just teasing the impatient people with a photohack to tide them over until Yamaha puts out the real deal.

Seen that a few years ago on a few sites, like this one-

I might forgo my upgrade plan for a bike like that. I have always loved a white bike. If it had the same technology progression as previous models, I could even see taking out a loan for that kind of machine.

Posted on "the other" forum......

"Yamaha announcing bikes and colors tomorrow at 9 Pacific" which would be today, assuming 9a.m. rather than 9p.m.

I'm with ya. Even taking a bath on my '07A on resale.

You could start your painting project with a 2013 since they came in primer gray from the factory.

Trouble maker!

Actually, I get more compliments on the stone grey color of my '13 than I did on my '04 silver and '08 black combined.

We like to call it ... 'Stealth Gray'

I haven't gotten a ticket (or even a warning) on it (yet)!

See? Even the cops find it boring.

You're just not trying hard enough.

Navy w Silver metal-flake would be classy

 

[HotRodZilla]

Ok, kJ, THAT'S sexy.

As of 1012 mountain time, they have 2016 everything, except the FJR. *******s.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm looking, I can't afford one anyway right now.

 

[SouthernCruizer]

Hmm..looks like Yamaha took the special paint job I was hoping for the FJR and applied it to the 2016 S10...what a deal.
