Electronically adjustable suspension, traction control, and heated grips too. Nicely loaded machine.

Anyone else see the LED accents around the headlights? I don't know what they're for, but they look cool.

The weight is down seven pounds!!! Looks like the jokes about weight will finally end.
I didn't realize it had lightened that much. I kinda remember my '06 being ~660 wet.  |

So instead of 700 it's now 693 lbs.?  I keed! I honestly don't know how much an FJR weighs but it can't be less than 600 lbs. wet. It's tough to have a luxury liner that weighs anything close to a sportbike. Only the BMW F800ST comes close to achieving that. |

It's tough to have a luxury liner that weighs anything close to a sportbike. Only the BMW F800ST comes close to achieving that. Right there in the specs. 637. The California version is, of course, heavier (2 lbs). And agreed; weight comes with size, features, carrying capacity, stouter frames for 2-up, etc. The only people that bitch about this bike's weight are girlie men (*cough*County), and people who haven't ridden it(*cough*County). |

Clicking on the nifty Specifications tab says it's 637# wet unless you travel to CA, then the camera adds 2 pounds. SCOOPED!! |

I loved my FJR, but I am disapointed they did not bump up the motor to 1400cc's and give her a 6th gear.

I was kind of shocked by a lack of 6th gear as well. It seems like a plastic freshening and a couple electronic doodads. I kind of like the color though. |

Why? It's geared very nicely. I don't see the point. |

Superslab overdrive. Another 40 miles tank to tank if slabbing it hard. |

I wonder if the drive mode switch acts similar to the C14. Meaning if you are tooling along in economy mode and then stomp on the throttle it switches back to POWAH!!!! until you roll off the gas to cruise again.

"While the FJR1300A gets reworked fork internals and rear suspension settings, the AS has bigger news as it catches up with rivals from BMW with the addition of electronic suspension adjustment. A bar-mounted switch allows the rider to select pre-sets including “one-up”, “one-up with luggage”, “two-up”, or “two-up with luggage” to instantly alter the set-up. There's also scope to switch between “soft”, “standard”, or “hard” damper settings, giving a total of 12 instantly-accessible options. The rear preload and the damping at both ends are adjusted by the system." Read more: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/intermot-2013-yamaha-fjr1300a-as/21526.html#ixzz28AmGTmkX |

Oops. Wrote too soon. It doesn't look like the US is getting the AS/AE version that has the electronic suspension.

MCN list the wet weight of the 2006 FJR at 673 wet, so 40 lbs sounds like an impressive drop - also sounds like bs, I'll wait for an independed source to actually weigh one before I believe any numbers.
