Have any of you seen this retro version of Aussie Daniel MCcoy that has been posted on Instagram? Hats off to his team, his bikes are always looking so good.

Oh man, so close yet so far.

White frame instead of black and silver rims and it would've been a 10.

Why a black frame? A white frame and red anodized wheels and hubs would be beautiful.. this bike? meh.

Somethings should stay in the past.

Horrible looking IMO

But I'll admit he'll be easy to spot on the track! Those yellow tires at Daytona of Stewart or was it Schmidt certainly made us all look and was a quick way to keep track of him on the screen.

I think posting pics of the old bike(s) would help a few folks "get it"...

I think it looks amazingly "old school" & really was surprised that they made the pit-gear, too.

Pretty ugly bike. If it were my ugly bike I would have went all in and put yellow tires on it too.

I'd say they were going for the Glenn Bell Dayglow Orange version. I'd also say they missed the mark. Not the largest team in the paddock so still a decent job considering. The thought was there.



BTW, the above is a replica of the real "McKoy" (Pun Intended). It was for sale on Flea Bay not that long ago. Don't quote me but I think he had 10K on it.

The frame would be Black on DM's bike because It's his regular YZF450 which has a Black frame.

Now, that I see what they were going for it is a bit better, but the could have at least taken the wheels apart to PC them.

Alright alright, I now get it...still that orange Sick

me digs that black one...but I think what I like most about it is the Blue hue reflection it eludes to on the upper shroud and fenders. I think a deeper darker blue then stock would be very cool.

I normally really hate black dirtbikes simply because it reminds me of MM, but that looks GOOD!

He has an RM250 as well in the same scheme. Looks wicked IMO! There's a pic in Travis's "Kick ass 2T" thread. Last page or maybe one back.
