2022 FJR1300 Announced

That’s jwilly sales. I keep them a few years until they get banged up and higher mileage. Jwilly periodically yeets FJR’s off sweet jumps and totals them, for America. He has an FJR subscription. I just dabble.

I think you wear them out faster than anyone through normal riding. I think Yamaha keeps the FJR going just for you and JWilly, ya'll are an official part of the balance sheet.

I think you misspoke.

It's all a matter of perspective. In this case we are comparing to JWilly, in which case Mr. Lumberg is quite normal. Compared to the rest of us, eh, not so much.

I guess you've ridden with Lumberg, so I defer to your expertise.

You can retrofit a quickshifter, but do you really need it?

[Powerman]

Traxxion has re-done many ES.

Yes a R1M would look good next to a 22 FJR.

[Powerman]

Been blessed by the boss. Told here there's only one color so no picking.

I always get blessed by the boss when looking at new bikes. In my case it's a trap. She is also looking at new bikes. So it costs us double.

Has Jwilly "dumpster'd" a FJR since he had to ride pillion back to the hotel with me at EOM??

He hasn’t ridden an fjr more than a couple of blocks since he started his current company (with the exception of a couple of trips) . Huge revenue. Schedule packed halfway into next year. Already outgrew their first accounting firm (there’s your sign). Happy for the success, but looking forward to when he gets to get out and sacrifice tires to the mountain gods again.

I know a guy that has already purchased helis for a bike he does not yet own. And has removed nonessentials and staged stuff to be swapped off his current bike. He must be crazy or something.

But when he the chance...

When JWilly rides, he RIDES!

Likely certifiable... like someone else I know.
I was told once I should be committed, ha, I interpreted that to mean dedicated.....

I received a call from my dealer yesterday, only two coming to Nova Scotia. He thinks I need one .

How do you like the look of the black with gold rims (Cdn 20th anniversary model) compared with your matte blue?
Do you have enough kilometers on the 2018 to justify a trade?

[Canadian FJR]

Spied that color scheme on the European model back in 2019 and really like it.

I only have 91,000 km on my ‘18 so I’m really not sure.

I’m still trying to figure out the new normal.

Talked to a rep with the largest dealer network in the area yesterday. They no longer accept any trade ins with more than 50k, at any price, and they have no FJR’s ordered. If they ordered, their estimate is 3-6 months to delivery.

I’m not smart enough to figure out what’s driving it. Lack of new stock, excess used inventory, who knows. It’s just entirely opposite of normal. Whether it’s Covid buying patterns or stock issues, it’s baffling.

The only thing that makes sense is that dealers have made used bikes a much bigger part of their business model. Time will tell.

Instead of trading like normal, or selling to a private party, it’s got me considering buying new (something I can find in stock) or used and keeping my current bike. Between Covid hysteria and market shifts, it’s like living in Oz.

I was on a call this week where a D.C. analyst was reporting that this or that place was in lockdown or quarantine. I was like- no they’re not. They have no reason to be, and I just left there.

Crazy times. Ride safe.

When I visited my Mom and Pop Yamaha dealership they had ONE new bike in stock. A small dirt bike. The floor was full of used bikes and PWCs.
