Interesting mashup. Decal is a little lopsided.

Ditto, but it was there the other day. It seems to be the ones that are attachments vs hosted elsewhere that vanish.

Odd. I can see this photo I posted here but not on other threads (older). Another attack on the site perhaps? Its a disconnect I thought I only affected me for approximately a month or so. Disconcerting.

I can see it... but i can see most pics that others cant for some reason...

To be honest I wish I couldnt see it... fugly graphic that doesnt fit the bike imho. Would be much better with a better curve to the graphic and a set of side panels.

I honestly think that Yamaha have some of the ugliest bikes out there!
Have you seen the 2017 MT09?
Or am I just getting old? :smt017

No defensible arguement to that .. as It's mostly True.
Moto makers are Dying slowly but surely.. decidedly so for Yama.
There is currently Only One crappy Yama dealer left within a 1500 mile radius of me.
No One is buying their products. Only BMW's and Hardly Davidsons are still selling.. at alegedly reduced numbers tho.
Only Old Fools buy bikes these days (in the first world).
Clearly evidenced by License statistics.. And WE are aging out.
Mostly the 'emerging' areas are buying 2 wheelers.. and those are Cheap low displacement transport types.
Boggles the imagination as to exactly 'Who" the product planners are aiming at.. and apparently missing.
