New FJR on the loose

The bike now comes with heated grips as standard and has undergone numerous updates since its release. Yamaha says the machine is 25mm narrower than the 2005 model, and it now includes linked brakes tied to ABS.

Touring goodies include colour matched panniers, shaft drive and fair degree of rider position adjustment. Pricing has remained steady since last year -- $23,000 plus ORC.
