Love that Techno Jade color. I think it was available here one year (2007?) on the AE model.

The Techno Jade color is very nice when you see it in a showroom or in a cloudy weather.

When you see it in the sun it looks discolored...

The Euro colours are kinda cool. Looks like they didn't get the Cerulean Blue the North American AE's got.

You mean Cerulean Silver for 2006 and 2007? No North American AE's were blue that I recall.

Yep. But it is kinda blue...... you're right, the correct name is Cerulean Silver.

BTW, check out this "Cerulean Blue" I saw advertised for sale a while ago. Ooops.

I had to buy a left hand mirror once and the parts manual at the dealer had the color of my '06AE as Cerulean Blue Silver.

Cerulean blue silver,cerulean silver,silver storm,or bluish silver BS4 is the same color!

The Gen 2 mirrors that i have install in my Gen 1 Bluish silver BS4,I bought them from a forum member here,and his bike is a 06 AE Cerulean blue silver..

The color of the mirrors is exactly the same like my bike color is.

Second most boring. Adding white would make it the top-o'-da-line boring

I love it also. But alas, it was just another of the cool colors never brought across the pond.

Nor was the Desert Metallic of 2006 that I also loved.

I am surprised there was no mention of the changes to the FJR in 2008.

What I couldn't help but notice was the part about the 2009 AE models getting a different shift program that helps with around-town riding. I have a neighbor who has an '09 AE. Next time I see him, I'm going to ask if he'll trade bikes with me for a day to test it out and see if it really is any better in slow speed situations.

Can't say I noticed any difference between my '06 and my '10 in the shifting, but the '10's throttle control was definitely better.
