Re: XSR900GP
I don't know what they're smoking in their style dept,but for a firm that has made some good looking bike's in the past they're consistently producing munters these days.
I think it would look a lot better with a couple of round LED lights in the nose cone & some nod to the red & black fade or blue paint scheme from the TRX850.

Re: XSR900GP
I dont understand this.
Let's take a retro style bike and chuck a fairing on it. Sort of anti streetfightering a bike!

Re: XSR900GP
I really hope Yamaha aren't softening us up for an R9 in this style. I like the basic concept of the XSR900 but Yamaha's styling department are taking the piss here. They really have no idea of how to do a half fairing and the seat is dreadful.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Re: XSR900GP
I kind of like it, looks better on the go...
... but I preferred the DB40 - even though I've gone back and looked at it to compare and there's no great difference, just seems to work better.
I take it this means there's no R9 coming?

Re: XSR900GP
I think the seat hump is shaped like it is due to the bike taking styling hints from the Marlboro YZR 500's from the 80's GP era bikes,cue the yellow background.
I wonder how long it will take for Yamaha France to do a Gauloise homage?
