I think they look awesome, but in my personal opinion, with it being a 90s throwback race, it would have been fitting to Do all the Yamahas like Doug Henry's 97 YZM400 since it gave birth to the whole 4 stroke movement, then maybe fly Doug out.

Josh Hill had one of, if not the best looking bikes in the pits.

Yeah, I agree with this.

This particular bike brough back my early years though, when I had bikes with similar graphics and also Bob "Hurricane" Hannah. Yes, I'm an old dude.

I think yellow Yamahas look like dog shit. By far the ugliest color you could make a bike. Its like a yellow/custard mixed with shit....

But hey, opinion and 5 bucks will get you a double double at IN-N-OUT.


(I am a firm believer in if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. But I have held back my opinion on yellow yamaha's for so long, I had to let it go ha)

Martin's yellow Yamaha and Josh Hill's white Doug Henry replica were the two best looking bikes this weekend!
I wonder why Honda didn't make a McGrath replica. Maybe they were mad about MC moving to Kawasaki??

There was a privateer team of 250 riders who's bikes looked better I thought. They looked more like the JGR bikes but had red seats I believe.

YEAH! WTF?!

But I'm a little salty about the switch too.

If the Honda boys ran a white frame with 1800 collect trim I would have needed to step outside for a smoke!

I liked the look of the yellow yamahas. Esp martins.




Although I thought it really highlighted how wide those bikes are.
