Very important to me. Yamaha imo have some of the best bikes, worst colours. The MT range / tracer being the worst. Not a fan of some of their brighter colours but looking through ebay the 21 mt09 has a blue and something. Looks great I reckon.
But, talking to a bloke the other week,it's the most uncomfortable bike he's ever ridden, but our arses are all different. Had my tracer 2 years and the itch is there, comes and goes, then reading other threads, comes again. If I was to change today (today only) it would be mt09 in blue or the z650 in green.
Which one ???

Re: Bike colours..
Yamaha did an R1 in 2004 iirc that was a dark silver/gunmetal, but with dark blue matt side panels. It looked terrible irl.

Re: Bike colours..
The green is a 'different' green and kinda cool. I'd wanna test ride it though first as it's potentially very different to yours.Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 9:20 am Very important to me.

Re: Bike colours..
I HATE black bikes!
I do like a nice bright colour, my current bike is orange.
