And the U.S. website: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport-touring/models/fjr1300es

Appears to be ES only now.

Let's keep the 2020 FJR one thread please.

Thanks - The Management

Guess Yamaha may be done with the "A" model, as it is not listed on the website.  There is only "ES."

What is the difference between the "Raven" black on my 2008 and "Liquid Graphite?"

Both the ES and A are listed on the US web site. About 1600 bucks more for the ES.

*Yawn*

The question is will the "Ultimate Edition" (whatever that is) be coming stateside?

I only see the "A" listed for a 2018 & 2019 model...not the 2020 model.

Could you please show me/us a link on their website that you are seeing the 2020 "A" model listed please.

“Barking performance” is new, Canadian sled dog related perhaps?

[mcatrophy]

From Sapest's quote, what does appear to be new is some rear brake application from the front lever. Presumably what gives yet another acronym "UBS".

Based on info here, MY2020 is last year for FJR (article is in German, google translator can help if needed) because of Euro 5:

I plan to be in EICMA on Friday so will check with Yamaha folks there...

 

[08FJR4ME]

the Ultimate Edition is finished in black and gold, and equipped with a range of exclusive features including a high screen, wind deflectors and hard side cases with a black chrome strip.

Dam! I don't know what I would do without the black chrome strip. Some bitch gotta get me one.

don't forget the "gold wheels" -- nope nope nope....

I am not sure if the paint is flat black or shiny or both. The pictures are highly deceptive.

Yes, you are right. I didn't notice that it listed two previous years. That explains the big price difference.

I think its the leftover 2019 A's which were shiny "Liquid Graphite".  It was just the 2018 & 2019 that were Matte.

And it is interesting that the price has NOT changed since 2017 (2016 if you allow a messily $9 change).  It's been $17,99x since 2016.

Along with the gold stripe.  Sorta reminds me of what Ducati did with their FE versions. 

There also seems to be an additional body panel covering the engine.
