Blue looks bollocks, although otherwise it looks a nice bike. This the FZ1 replacement?

 

[SwissMotard]

This will be my next bike in 2-3 years time. That R1 cross plane awesome sound paired with nakedness... ah, just like my fantasies.

Looks pretty funky, but i still think id choose the tuono for the naked sports bikes, that thing monsters everything still to this day.

[BubbleBoy]

Is it just me or does it look the same as the mt09??

I agree with Lurch. I don't care for the blue, but in black it would be super badass! Or red, because red bikes are faster.

With a 'face' like that I keep wondering if it's going to transform into a giant robot.. If it does I definitely want one!

Johnny 5 is alive

They need to do a pearl white one.

They need to do a pearl white one.

They'll make that one when Mack is back in town apparently.

There must be some good shit being smoked in the Yamaha camp along with re-runs of Micheal Bay's Transformers.. In regards to the bike design and the bike commercial.

Inb4 someone installs the Bumble Bee voice pack on it. Hahaha..

 

[Clint Love]

It's Arcee!

 

[lupin]

Defiantly more jhonny 5 than any transformer.

Guess most aren't old enough to know who Jonny 5 is.

[ReggiewithTwoGs]

I like that. Hmmm...I think it's being added to my wishlist for a replacement in a couple of years.

 

[BbqRider]

I think it looks sexy as hell! Weird, but good

Another ugly bike This is starting to become a trend. The best looking naked bike in my opinion is the 2010 - 2013 Z1000 by far. Nothing has come close to that yet and if the latest trend of ugly bikes is anything to go by it'll be a while before anything comes close.
