Mad Matt is correct !
Seems Yamaha discontinued the FJR in the Japan market as 23 model.. in the US and North America market I see this on the FJR forum site
2024 FJR1300 Announced - No Changes
The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated....."

It's back for another year. Same color. Same price. Long live the FJR1300!

My beloved C14 Concours was also euthanized by corporate..I’ve been fortunate enough to have owned an FJR and C14 at the same time riding them back to back. The Kawi has more engine but the FJR’s agility cornering kept the Kawi at bay.. until you hit a big straight away then the Kawi was GONE.

I've owned both the C14 and FJR also but not at the same time. The C14 was fun but the FJR was the clear winner for me. I'd still have the FJR had a distracted kid in a large sedan not rear ended me.

My Concours has been flashed with ZX14 DNA mapping… below 5,000 rpm as docile as a pussy cat… above 5,000 it’s like having a 700 pound chainsaw between your legs. Great top end rush.

Yeah, Canada seems to get slightly different motos than here in the States. I think y'all can even buy new Africa Twins, which haven't been available in the US since 2022.
