I got to admit...that thing is pretty. At least to me. All y'all remember that old axiom; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If they're looking to win the ugliest bike of the year contest, they have it won.

I don't really know why, but the graphics and the header make the bike look like a chinese knock off to me.

Like I said above. You weighed in just in time to help my point.

I bet they sell a jillion of those things (here in the South, a "jillion" is pretty much an uncountable amount - so obviously I'm exaggeratin'. The preliminary rumors are that the bike is bad-azz. If so, it will sell like hotcakes.

By the way, I prefer the blue version with the blue rims, but I am jazzed they offer 2 different looks.

Yamaha's headquarters is in Cypress, about 40 minutes southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

Well, whatever the case may be, it looks like Yamaha is working hard to get that thing homologated.

Love the look of the baby blue with black rims and black clamps. Looks awesome!

Personally I think it looks great. Hell of a lot better looking than the last few years. I think this is their best looking 4 stroke since they've been producing them.

And to those bitching about the light blue/teal how many of you ride a completely stock bike? Very few. Most will have a graphic kit with a seat cover along with an exhaust on it even before the tires touch the dirt.

The shape is nice, the colors look cheap. Not racy at all.
