Can't hurt my feelings IGGY...I've been around too long.Nope! No prize. Just documenting the first of what likely will is a string of people that are ADD and don't seem to learn anything new over the years..and/or like to semi-troll. I expect a series of other sloppy folks to start new threads and I'll go though slapping them down with a statement like "You're the x (where x is the incremental counter I put in the upper left) person to post this NEPRT thread. Go read the existing thread on this. Thread closed."Iggy wrote:Does Cota95 get a prize for being the first to ask this year?LOL
And I'm sure it will miff off a few during the process. This is my cross to bear...oh well.
The person that posts a link of the ACTUAL 2017 model first gets a prize. They get to have a pinned thread and bragging rights for a while.
Iggy is not kidding! I got my hand slapped! I am #2 on his incrementer. He was very nice about it, though. He said "Already a thread in NEPRT about the 2017. Closing duplicate." I wonder how far Iggy will increment before someone finally posts a link of the actual 2017 model? All I know is that I want a brand new FJR, but I do not like the blue color. Why brand new? I want six gears and the Slipper/Assist clutch. Come on, Yamaha... give me Black Cherry for 2017!!!Nope! No prize.

Add one more change. A much tougher mirror bracket so it doesn't snap in two (for a $1K-plus repair job) with every zero-speed parking lot drop.The bumble bee would be awesome.
Fred - I'd add to your list:
1. Make The wheel paint finish more durable
2. Make the rear rack able to hold more load
3. Tell Bridgestone to go fly a kite and make the OEM tire the PR4-GT
Still - even if Yamaha can't see these things my way, it's still the best ST IMO b
And let's not forget about adding a friggin' turn signal canceller for all of us with half-heimerz.Fred - I'd add to your list:

Have you SEEN the '15? VERY disappointing.They already tried that in 2013, but nobody ever came back to get their custom color sprayed on. Since George already has a 2013, he's all set for any color he wants it to be.I heard they are going to be primer gray...
I notice you've used the superior Gen I for your fantasy.I'm still holding out hope for a retro themed FJR for my next one....'17 would be fine with me
They have, and it'll only cost you $260.2. Make the rear rack able to hold more load
And then you'll be complaining of their performance and tire life.3. Tell Bridgestone to go fly a kite and make the OEM tire the PR4-GT
+1. Knock on wood this isn't something that I end up suffering.Add one more change. A much tougher mirror bracket so it doesn't snap in two (for a $1K-plus repair job) with every zero-speed parking lot drop.
Switch pinkys....JSNSNever fails...the yearly "anyone heard..." thread turns into a whine fest at what Yamaha could do to really "up their game".
...and I'm trying to figure out a way to ride the hell out of the bike I have. No complaints, none.
Okay, one complaint...my pinky hurts.
I'm going to continue to hope the new year will bring burnt orange paint...but I suspect I'll continue to be disappointed.
