Whether the benefits of YCC-S are worth the extra money is a tough call. For me, I'd save the money and get the standard transmission. Early-adopters and less-involved riders will appreciate the trick new system that is bound to only get better over time. Perhaps one day we'll see a YZF-R1 with the FJR's toggle shifter but without the auto-clutch.
Yamaha says the AE was made "to expand the appeal by offering more relaxed function," and its mission is mostly accomplished. The company claims that nearly 30% of its orders during its "Priority Delivery" program were for the AE, although Yamaha has made an extra production run of the standard model to fulfill demand.
In 2005, an upsurge in FJR sales resulted in the bike achieving a solid 28% market share in the category. With the considerable upgrades to the 2006 model and the special AE version, we expect that number to rise.
