I like that chrome pieces on the sides. It would probably look nice on any color but silver.

I'm glad that it is not Black Cherry or Dark Red. I already told my wife that I am going to trade in my 2015 FJR if/when Yamaha offers the FJR in Black Cherry or Dark Red. I just bought the 2015 so the "Raven" means that I get to ride the 2015 for at least a year. So, what color will the 2018 FJR be?

I would be shocked if it's anything but silvery plastic.

I can't figure out what chrome pieces you are all talking about :-(

In the video walkaround, it just appears to be silvery plastic, not chrome.

Back when we got our 2014's, the advertisements made it look like it also was silver in that same spot. It turned out to be a reflection and it was actually black.

Just got email from Mother Yamaha announcing 2017 lineup. 2017 FJR ES is listed. The "A" model was not.
Edited: Can always add is later I suppose. I find it odd that it is still offered elsewhere though (thought it was still available in Canada?).

You guys remember how ABS was optional in 2004 and 2005, and then in 2006, it wasn't. Could this be the same progression? I have no idea, but maybe...

I'm not sure how I feel about that until I hear all the great things the aftermarket guys will do to freshen up the front forks and rear shocks on the ES bikes.
Plus, I only have 20k miles on my 13, so I will be with that bike for a good long while (knocking on wood, vigorously).

Looks a lot like my '14 ES, the Black one sold in Canada!

I like it! But then again, I like all of the model yrs for the most part. Black/Raven hasn't been around since they made my '09A, so it's it's time in the Que...........
I need to get one, but not right away. I always thought I'd get another when they were black again and I had wore out mine. At 111K miles, mine won't be giving up anytime soon, but who knows, I'll look at them when the '18s come out & see if there are any deals.
At least they didn't do that friggin' blue color again!

Naw, I had it right the first time regardless of any fancy lining out. 2016, really? It could have been 2005, 2006, or even 2012 IIRC.Nope...that was the 2016. The Raven 2017's are just leftover 2015's from Canada
And I was trying to figger a way to get one of them 2015 from Canada; they get all the good stuff first!
