Anyone have any information on what's coming?
Someone told me there is a new model for 2016 but I can't find any information about it.

Thanks
Tony

That's what we've heard for the last four years or so.. However, it's never too early to speculate.

Likely to be a well-kept secret if it is happening... let the rampant speculation begin!!!!

I haven't heard anything. My guess... same dirt, different shirt.

expect nothing more than "bold new graphics" for '16

Mix a couple of buckets of left over paint and Voila...2016!

Oh great- it will be brown! (Seems like whenever you mix a bunch of colors, you end up with brown).

Yellow... it's gonna be yellow...

I'm buying it.

The way the paint hasn't held up on my '12, it doesn't really matter what color it is to me. I'm not sure if I am ever going to wash mine again. The paint just hasn't held up.

According to this, there is a new model coming, but. . . who really knows. No specific details, yet. tp

According to this page, no new KLR650, and there are many more waiting for that to happen, than a new C14. Kawi is a funny company when it comes to new models. tp

Excellent! I knew it would be 2016!

We'll find out what Kwackers thinks is 'new'. I'm hoping it's a gen 3.

I would think to keep up with the FJR they would add throttle by wire with cruise control and optional ESA. But I'm not holding my breath.

+1

I would think the FJR should get 6th gear too.... its so 1990ish

I think that is going to be a given with any major redesign. All vehicles are going to throttle-by-wire, bikes included. And 98% of cruise control is essentially built-in when you have throttle-by-wire (you just need a handlebar control and an icon on the display).

and optional ESA. But I'm not holding my breath.

ESA can still be somewhat gimmicky (not a big value and yet expensive). So it would not surprise me at all of that were not an option. But, who knows.

Funny my 1983 Honda Sabre V-45 had 6 gears. And then some.

I hear that there will be integrated cup holders.

Yesterday walking from a parking lot into a restaurant I saw a parked, several-year-old, decked-out HD (with perhaps 2 or 3K miles on it). It had a CHROME cup holder mounted to the bars....

Yes, I rolled my eyes.

VirginiaJim · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2015, 06:15:48 PM »

And there will be chrome...

I hate that you've been saying the same for the last 5 years or more, and you've been right every time
