I thought I remember Yamaha coming out with an FJR with push button shifting? Can't find anything on it.

Around 2007 and 2008.  FJR1300AE.  Tough to find new ones out there since they stopped making it, but you can find some used ones.

PS - Also has a shift lever that you can use with your boot like a normal bike, only there's no clutch so you just shift up and down.  Kinda like a video game or something.

Nope. The AE has a clutch and shifter. It's simply computer controlled. The transmission is the same with the addition of some controllers on the AE to do the shifting for you. There's still a clutch though.

There is no clutch lever on the AE model. You still have to shift it, but the clutching is done automatically.

Yup.  No clutch lever, you push the button to shift up and down (or use the foot lever).  just don't need to pull a clutch first.

Big thing is, you lose the "friction zone" for slowspeed maneuvers.  You have to stomp on the back brake, rev it up, and use the back brake to control slow speeds.
