Can you order a 2024 FJR in a different color?

Im looking to replace my 08 with a new FJR.
I'm not a fan of the blue. Can it be ordered in a different color or will I need to send it off to a paint shop?

Nope. Only one color available per year, at least in the US. In Canada, they somerimes had different colors for A vs ES models but no A models in recent years. (A is without Electronic Suspenson). Canada had the black/gold scheme in 2022.

Well I guess it's a good thing my buddy has a auto body and paint shop.

Or you could buy a lightly used "Liquid Graphite" from 2020-21. Or a Matte Blue from 2018-19. Mechanically and electronically, the bike is the same.

I thought about that but I'm looking for a metallic emerald green or something along that line.
I guess if I'm going to go fir a new bike I might as well kick down for a custom paint job too.

I've always felt Yamaha missed the boat with only offering one color like that. I first test rode a FJR back in 2009 and while I loved the bike I won't own a black vehicle. Nothing wrong with the I just know I'd never keep it clean enough.

I agree. Not a fan of black or blue, which really reduces the options with an FJR.

Howdy,
Years back I had a 2011 BMW 1200RT, and I wasn't happy with the color it came with. The dealership recommended a shop that did only motorcycles. I had the bike repainted in Titan Silver, that cost me $2000.00. The paint quality wasn't that great and could easily be scratched. I ended up buying an extra pair of pannier lids and using them while keeping the silver ones in the garage. I hope this give you a perspective as to what you may expect when repainting your bike.

Better off with a car place. Most custom motorcycle paint is Harley stuff. Auto shop will have more experience with flexible plastics.
