I think the more important question is whether any upcoming changes are anything more than cosmetic. The old Ninja 650R really did need an upgrade in a lot of ways that went beyond paint and plastic. Personally I could see a cosmetic upgrade to the 6R, but doubt they would go anything beyond reshaping the fairing, maybe updating the headlight and a few other cosmetic items of that nature. An adjustable windscreen like the Ninja would be really nice too, even if it's only (like the Ninja) adjustable with tools.I think it's clear with Kawasaki making changes to their entry leavel ninja 650 that Yamaha will make some changes to the FZ6R. I doubt it will be anything carzy, but my money is that there will be some changes other than the paint scheme
