New color scheme for R6

[Maki]

I just saw this:

This is probably what the R6 for 2010 will look like here in NZ. I am happy that they don't seem to have a red color, that makes my red one rarer and more desireable I hope.
The blue version is the only one I like.
R6 will be big in 2010 if the new ACC rules come into force.

White White not bad!

Yes, gotta admit that looks cool, at least when freshly cleaned.

Don't like the new muffler though...

They hit the nail on the head with the 06. Must be hard to make it look any better.

Good point. This has to be the coolest bike ever:

While I love the original white with red 2006 release scheme, the 2008 white/red/black is by far my favourite!

lol you just posted my bike
was pretty wicked on the coro loop today!

I like the nu 2010 in white - but agree that nu muffler is crapoli looking. One gripe I have with the yamaha design (to the eye) is that the seat-line looks a bit weird at the slant its on esp into the rear section - I like the duc that has a curve to hold you on...
