Hi Tim,

I would love to go, as I could attend the dealer only showing and ride the new bikes, but that conflicts with my ride to the Super Ten rally in AR. I plan to leave home about the time of the Orlando show and then meet up with my son who is riding up from Biloxi and then we plan on taking the scenic route to the Hub, arriving on Sunday, the 18th.

Although that now has me wondering if I should ride to Orlando for the dealer portion of the show, then ride to Biloxi to meet up with my son and then on to AR. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that. :-\
Just another opportunity to ride your 2014 ES more miles and to ride with your son more miles :)

More 2015 models will be introduced at the AIME Expo in Orlando, FL. Oct 16 and 17 for dealers, the public can see them on the 18th and 19th. Demo rides will be available.
Wow, October? :(
Thanks for the info...I guess I'll have to gather up my patience.

Ooooh....I'd take the S10 in that yellow in a heartbeat. Better yet, Kenny Roberts retro graphics. ::008::

A new color (at least for the European market) 2015 will be the "Race Blu" as seen in the pictures below.

oh my...
blue wheels yes. forks no.

As the others said..BNG

I got an email from my dealer yesterday, he has told me that Yamaha is bringing 8 new models to market this year, across their entire range.

One will be the FJ-09, or at least I'm hoping...

who knows what else..

Heard the Bolt could get a larger engine though not sure that would make me want to buy one.

Sat on it at the AIMExpo in Florida. It is more street bikish than some of the other colors, more red than the 2007 FJR burnt cherry color, and does look sharp.

i cannot think of many changes they can make really . ive gone from a 2011 model to a 2014 and i think the changes yamaha have made are perfect , they seem to have looked at all the problems and fixed them ....well nearly all ? ...the spokes still have that scratched i,ll rot any moment look like the old model did ...

For those of you who thought it was funny the "ES" on the website http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/products/modelgallerylib/704/1/0/gallery.aspx
does not have a rear quarter panel and apparently no "ES" - you can rest in knowing they do exist and are identical to the 2014... I saw the 2015 at the San Mateo Bike show this weekend.. (ES-ed picture attached). It was the first time I had seen the OEM luggage in person - after reading about them, I was surprised it had more of a "thin aluminium shell" feel to it than plastic. Also not pictured was the "Factory" winch? they had mounted into the stock luggage rack hmmm....

I could have used the winch a couple weeks ago when I almost buried myself and my bike in a mud pit.
