Where are the 2012 FJRs

[SkooterG]

According to Yamaha's website (Clicky) the 2012 FJRs were supposed to be available in November. Anybody got one? Has anybody seen one on a dealership's showroom floor?

I want piccies! :lol:

It is really quite complicated... You see, Yamaha has been secretly buying up all the 06's on the current

market through private buyers. They then spin back the odometers and paint the tails and a few other

minor adjustments. As soon as they have enough in their secret warehouses, they will release them as

2012's. Hopefully I can get you a pic at bike week in Daytona at the Yamaha tent.

yeah yeah! my dealer has one on the floor, and I'll telly ya... thing looks awesome!! At first thought it was an 06, but it was so pristine, no way.

They are really nice looking, very very nice.

This is a link to it on the showroom floor, they have some decent pics

That FJR is lacking the FJR decal from the side, looks like that is standard now. I'm just glad that whatever that chunk of chromed plastic they were putting on the '09s is gone.

Wish my 06 had the flat black instrument cluster, I hate the glare from the shiney silver.

According to THOSE photos, that blue has a suspicious amount of gay 05 blue tint in it. Doesn't look like the deep dark cobalt blue of the 2006 models...kind of a hybrid color. Not fully gay 05, just an 06 with the 05 color peeking out of the closet door.

Oh man... 05's get no respect

I'm gonna be over at the dealer again today. Will bring the camera and try to get some realistic pics.

Yamaha resurrects a bike that is both ugly AND unreliable!

Ha, Ha; Simon I just made the comment on a dcarver thread that the First Bullshitter on any thread on our FJR Forum is fecked. RadioHowie is living proof of this fact!

Well, it's annoying when the pics don't come out as good as they should, but these aren't too bad...

My sales guy and I checked the color rite site. the 05 was galaxy blue and the 06 and 12 are cobalt blue. You guys already know that, but I didn't

 

[SkooterG]

Cool. Thanks for posting the photos.

That looks like Cobalt to me. Not as much burple as the distinctive Bass Bote Blue of the '05's.

You boring colored bike owners are just jealous...

I love the chunk of chromed plastic on the 09's. It's plastic on plastic, what's wrong with that? Beats the FJR decal hands down.

I thought the tail piece had some silver on it like the 07-11s. This one is all blue like my 06 (RIP)
