2014 FJR1300ES - Wow!

[Firefight911]

Ooh, that's nice! I don't think there's anything out there that can compete on a bang for buck basis.

Damn, that red is sexy!

Uh oh, I'm already running the numbers. That's a sweet bike!

Yeah, but take a really close look at this page...

http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/content/115/yamaha_sport_street_motorcycle_home.aspx

At first it looks like there is a 2014 Super Tenere, but there's not... If you click on each model you will every single model *EXCEPT* the Super Tenere and the FZ8 shows having a 2014 model, while the Super Tenere and FZ8 are both 2013 models.

This does not bode well for there being a 2014 Super Tenere, and could possibly mean dire things for the Super Tenere continuing to be offered in the United States at all in the future.

So, the ES differentiates this FJR from the regular FJR how?
And for how much additional $'s?

Not a trick question. I looked. But would like to hear it in non marketing terms.

ES gets upside-down forks and electronically controlled suspension, and costs $1,000.00 more.

That's it. Even the color is the same.

Read the "Features" pages, too, to have the differences more delineated, and do a "Choose Comparison Model" on the right side of the page to see them directly compared, including price.

Love the FJR. Almost got one instead of the ST.
Maybe a 2015 Super Tenere ES???? (of mixed emotions on that one: should a real adventure bike have THAT many electronics)?

 

[mcbrien]

Mabe when the 3 cylinder version comes out I'll start
paying more attention .

 

[True Grip]

That would be a bike I would want if I was sceered of gravel. ;D I can't afford two high dollar bikes. To bad you can't rent them like Harleys and goldwings. That thing would be the shnizzle on some high speed sweepers. I have to stop typing my blood pressure is coming up

 

[Checkswrecks]

Yeah the FJR is a great bike, but as for the deep red metalflake:


I like it!

I might even consider trading my blue for that red.

 

[Don in Lodi]

If a repaint is ever needed, an eff'd up tank or sumpin', that red would sure be a sweet change!

 

[TenRider]

It is a lovely red for the S10. The black side panels help too.

 

[Grumpy]

Here in Europe the ES is known as the AS and keeps the clutchless gear shifter.

 

[Rasher]

Great - electronic suspension, ABS, Traction Control, Cruise Control......

... if only they could figure out how to get it to take panniers AND a top box it could compete with the other bikes in the segment ::010::

Uhhhh, ok.....

 

[Grumpy]

Uhhhh, ok.....

I think Rasher means fitting larger panniers than standard. So far I have not come across an after market set for the later models. I find the standard panniers are OK for our needs, but I do use the Shad 50 litre top case, I swap it between the FJR and the ST.
