2010 Yamaha's

[BlueRidgeKat]

The siver FJR is nice. I would also take the black or red FZ1 both have gold wheels.

Where is the FZ6? Discontinued??

Also do not see the clutchless FJR ??  I didnt think that would go over very well.

Maybe the FZ6 is being updated?  I think they may be holding some back for the Autumn Euro shows - at least, I hope so!

Thanks for the link.

You may be right. Odd they didnt leave the 09 FZ6 on the site until they posted the 2010 though.

If you look under '2009 overview' it's still there.

(licks pencil, scratches hopes of updated FJR off the list)

jeeeezus, a new FJR is $15.2K?

[BlueRidgeKat]

Yes, thanks, still there.

Maybe its getting some major updates for 2010. If all it was getting was new 2010 colors it should be there.

$700 more than a 09.  

[egslowride]

$700 more than a 09.  

$1400 more than 07's and nothing but colors have changed in 4 yrs.

If the absence of the AE is any indication we wont have to complain
about price next year.

Dollars to donuts the FZ-6 has been discontinued. Last year, many people got the feeling the FZ6R was designed to take it's place.

I'd find it hard to believe during this economy that Yamaha would invest in a new entry-level model one year, then invest in updating their other entry-level bike the next.

I really hope I'm wrong, though.

I was just hoping they would bring the Tenere to the states but if they every even condsidered it I'm guessing the economy killed that as well.

You are correct sir!   The FZ6 is history as is the AE model FJR.

I don't have a clue about the FZ-6 for sure but quite often when manufacturers have a large inventory, they will not do a production run for a year, but will still have plenty of the previous year on the floors of showrooms. (Not sure this is the case with the FZ-6)

With the economy being the way it is, this could be the case. (but not sure) They are still listing the FZ-6 in the 2009 model year.

Suzuki did this with the B-King here for a year.

[glory racing]

The FZ 6 is no longer.   The TTR's and PW's are the only bikes that will not have 2010 production runs  but will remain in the line.

[wolf46]

The talk is an FZ8 is in the works for 2011, a naked bike.

Stratoliner Deluxe is $17,500....

Same money as the new Victory Cross Roads.

[gearheadstu]

I can see getting rid of the FZ6, after undercutting its price point and market position with the FZ6R.

I don't see axing both the FZ6 and the R6S in the same year. There is a tremendous brand/market gap between the FZ6R and the R6.

Seems unlikely, but something to hope for

AHH!!! For what? Scaring small children?

Oh c'mon, it's not that bad!  Has a charming Moto-Morini Granpasso kind of dorky look.  I'd love to see Yamaha start mixing it up in the US adventure-sports market.
