Hey Motopedia...do you know what front tire that is? (Its got a unique tread pattern, and I remember seeing it somewhere but I can't remember which tire it was?)

The only thing I don't like about the GP bikes is that the 450's can run black backgrounds on the side panels. That bugs the shit out of me, but other than that I'm digging the new look!

radiators stick out too much and stickers aren't lined up. also, the length of the swingarm is out of proportion to the rest of the body.

i give her a 6.5 at best. i'd ride it, but only if i was drunk.

Looks like a mix of the Pirelli Scorpion MX Hard 486 and 554. Most certainly a prototype tire.

Find it odd they're running a hybrid rear sprocket. Adds much weight considering the amount of carbon and ti on the thing. That's not the right place to add weight!
Must pay them good money

I wonder if metallic blue rims would look good on it too?

Lost it at the welds on the Swingarm. They're kinda ugly to be honest, but just thinking of all the testing and freedom to make whatever they want...went from 6 to midnight real quick

Hideous. Frankenbike. Ever since the big change in 2010, ugh. Only Reed can make the Yamaha look good.

On the topic of GP bikes, HRC are definitely running the 17 models from the looks of it

The Yamahas are great bikes but to me the are the ugliest. They look heavy like a street bike/dirt bike hybrid to me. To each their own. Im sure lots of people love the looks.

it's crazy how much better that carbon fibre subframe makes the bike look.. I've never really liked the 'new' Yamaha's but I like those factory bikes..
What's with Guillod's bike being different? Is he on different team?
