[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1212377, member: 118"] It's not actually the same color. 05 was Galaxy Blue. 06 is Cobalt Blue. The 06 is darker. Need more info: How many miles on your '05? On the '06? How happy are you with the 05? Any major complaints. In my not so humble opinion, I don't think it is worth upgrading. The 06 had some issues. Granted they were either fixed by Yamaha or the aftermarket, but 2006 for the FJR was not one of the better years. I wouldn't upgrade unless you get at least a 2008. And in 2009 you get the reduced clutch pull that 06-08 owners complained (rightly so) about. Personally, I would think strongly about waiting to upgrade to a Gen III, 2013+ if budget is a concern. The Gen III FJRs are most definitely the dogs danglies when it comes to refinement and features. They are worth the wait. [/QUOTE]
