New 2017 FJR Announced, Raven it is!

[Fred W]

I don't see how. It's the same bike under the paint.

Kind of glad they haven't done a Yellow, White, and Black Kenny Roberts paint scheme yet. My budget will be shot to hell when they do.

You guys have got to let that Kenny Roberts thing go. It's kind of ugly when you look at it. Especially on an FJR. It's not 1965 anymore boys!

Optical illusion. Black things always look bigger than other colors of the same item. Don't get too imaginative!!!!

Black and white are generally considered colors.

However, technically speaking:

In art, white is the absence of all color and black is the presence of all color. To artists, black is considered a color, white is generally not.

In light, the opposite holds true. Black is the absence of color, and white is the presence of all color. To scientists, white is a bunch of colors, and black is not.

So the answer to this question really is, "it depends on what your perspective is".

I promised myself that I wouldn't even think of buying a new one until I had at least 50K miles on the '09. The way I have been riding the last two years is making me think I might have to break the promise. Less than 8000 miles in two years is not adding up very quickly and I really like the look of the Black FJR. None of the other colors interest me as much, Blue runs a close second and most of my cars have been blue. It may be hard to not go into one of the local shops and just take a look.

Congratulations on the new bike!

Yea, just take a look... I've heard that before... I've said that before!

Looks like I am safe for another year, no AE. But black sure is 'perty' when its shined up!

Heh, I love the 2016 ES color... that blue is REALLY pretty. But when you slide that pretty blue bike into a ditch and you can't find another one within a couple thousand miles you wait for the next year/color to come out. I had a 2008 FJR prior to the 2016 and LOVE the black as well... maybe I'm just fated to ride a black bike?
