Congrats! As the owner of a 2012 Cobalt Blue FJR I think it is the best color
. Red is for Hondas
My bike was purchased as a left over in April this year from a dealer in Oklahoma. The first owner did a fly and ride. Paid about 12,800 with a 5 yr YES.
He put on 6,000 miles, cee bailey shield, corbin seats, givi tank bag, powerlets, and sells it to me for in July for 10k. Newest bike I have owned since 1981.
Enjoy!

I noticed that you own a Ducati so you should be ashamed of yourself for not saying that RED is for Ducatis. Everybody knows that Italian Red is the fastest colour.Congrats! As the owner of a 2012 Cobalt Blue FJR I think it is the best color. Red is for Hondas

Chuckle, chuckle. That's it? No story/stories? Oh, I see; you'll start a new thread to avoid hijacking this one.

Speaking of new/old stock, there is a brand new 2010 on the floor at Penco Yamaha in Kalispell, MT. I think they are asking $11,500 or thereabouts. And they are reluctant to deal. I would think they'd blow it out the doors at any reasonable offer. As soon as it is sold and becomes a "used" bike, it's already depreciated to...what? $8,000?

Why do these bikes sit for so long?
Along with the red vs blue discussion I started, my three other bikes are Red, so I am glad the Yamaha is Blue as a Yamaha should be

One guess:
(1) They're more expensive and lots heavier than the sportbikes that usually attract young riders or riders with only a few years experience.
I imagine that by the time the dealership sells 1 FJR, they will sell 3 or 4 each FZ, R1, and R6 bikes; a Super Ten; and a handful of Vstars and dirt bikes. That's just a guess, though. I'm an engineer who knows nothing about selling motorbikes.
