I like them. A little busy on the graphics but they are clean.

By far the best Yamaha out are the Star Racing bikes. IMO

I like the look of the Rinaldi engine on Charliers bike, looks fast. And the new suspension on Van Horebeeks. Looks wrong with black backgrounds on the sides on the 450 though. Super trick linkage from C2P. Best looking Yamaha in years.

Wonder how much of the goodies Lundgren and Klingsheim will get.

Same bike than Anstie for Klingsheim and Lundgren (team Bike It Dixon).

Is it just me or does anyone else thinks the Yamahas look unfinished with the two aluminum sub frame pieces exposed? I know they had to have left if open for cooling but what about a scoop side cover. Just looking at the above picture and imagining having that entire area blue and then a blue graphics piece on the bottom of the gas tank like the factory GP Yamahas.

Without a doubt Yamaha knocked it out of the park with this new 250 and for sure fine tuned the 450.

Disgusting, the graphics ruins everything. Looks way better right out of the box!

I was under the impression that last years motors were a full Cosworth build?

Though overplayed anymore, I think black wheels would make it look top notch

Rock...I think it would look good if they carried the graphics on to that part of the tank. Not sure why they didnt do that on the Star bikes.

But the open area of the subframe would be hard to make both sides even as one side has a normal style subframe and the other has the really angular subframe. But I see what you are saying, its like a big opening that doesn't really look like it belongs there.
