Did it say somewhere that the FJR is being discontinued?

I continue to be disgusted with Yamaha and it’s lack of creativity in color choices.

The FJR is a gorgeous bike and yet they think shades of black and gray and flat paint is the best choice of dress.
If they brought back the Galaxy Blue or the Dark Red Metallic I just might purchased another one.
Or even something completely different would be nice.

Oh and self canceling turn signals.

it seems the ST will have the same color as the last year.... is Yamaha clearing the stock parts for a new model next year??

….If they brought back the Galaxy Blue or the Dark Red Metallic....

Yup, Cobalt or Galaxy....my kid's is that metallic maroon....gorgeous. I kinda get why the Tenere gets limited painted parts....designed to be dropped while in the bush. But, the FJR....with her curves....SHOULD have deep metallic colors. And, it would not surprise me if this actually is the FINAL edition of the FJR. After all....how many here traded the in the FJR on a T12. "Adventure" bikes are all the rage, and all.

I Guess the ST color scheme with Matt black plastic parts is the way chosen by YAMAHA to save money in the stock of the plastic parts.
The same bike since 2017, the same parts since 2017. I fact, YAMAHA produces the same color scheme for all markets around the world since 2017
That means the TENERE is living Her last days
