Oh hell yeah! that is what I call conspicuous (for traffic of course).
Did you get the saddle bags for your 2022? If so how long did it take? Bought mine end of Jan and today Yam told me May.There’s been no plausible indication that they’re discontinuing it, at least in our market. But any sizeable reduction in sales (from the EU or other regions) makes me concerned as to how it might affect profitability and the longevity of the model.
Luckily, I have a 2022, so I should be good for a bit.
I had the same experience in California in January. Many dealers told me that they could only get a handful of 2022s, and no outlook yet for 2023. I’m still waiting for saddlebags on my 2022, purchased end of Jan.I have been to quite a few Yamaha dealers during my cross country trip to Minnesota a few days ago asking them about FJR’s. These bikes are unicorns! Dealers have told me that can’t get them and there was dealer in MInnesota that told me a guy came up from Kansas City last year to get the one he had in stock.
Ridiculous. I was told it was not a chip shortage. Sounds like component pieces are not coming together from a production standpoint. Hang on to the bike you have like sweet death.
Where did you get your bike from in California?No I just purchased a month ago, so May would be four months. That's bad enough ;-)
I have to admit I like the new bike. I think it’s great for an every day play or medium range bike. My FJ09 is a 2015 model with upgraded suspension and I wish I had had the bells and whistles this new one has.This is the replacement for the FJR? Chain drive, cheap panniers, ugly as sin? Come on Yamaha, build a solid, distance ready sport tourer please? I may have to head to BMW at this rate.
but it is not close to a replacement for the FJR without shaft drive.
