Any of these in NZ?

[placidfemme]

My landlord (A biker) gave me some old bike mags (from 2004) that have been sitting in his waiting room at work, that no-one reads...

And in a Two Wheels Issue from 2004, they did a story on the lastest (at that stage) Yamaha R6... And they did a small feature on a Yamaha R6 designed (paintjob anyway) by Rossi himself...

Now its a limited edition, and I did a search on KB and couldn't find anything related to it...

Are there any of these in NZ?

Some may love the paint sceme (sun on one side and moon on the other) and other may hate it...

What do you think?

It'll give R6 Kid some food for thought - he's about to respray his bike I think.

I like it, I have never seen that before.
I wonder how much more it would cost from Yamaha

That's an R46 and the paint job was designed by Rossi. There were none in NZ when I bought my red R6. I looked.

This is a pretty kewl paint job for an R6... this one is a streetfighter (which looks mean )

I think there was a Rossi R6 too, different paint job though. There was one in a showroom in Sinney when I was there last year.

Although they were never imported here, Yamaha NZ are generally pretty good about getting genuine parts for any of their bikes.
If you simply MUST have one......order the fairing panels that have all of the intricate decals on them, then get a decent painter to colour match and paint your tank etc.

There was an article on them in Two Wheels a while ago.

I like it... but I don't want one of them lol. I do want an R6 though... but when I upgrade I'll be blinging my bike and making it all "ghey" and personalized... because I can

I'm very set on the R6 as my next bike... was a toss up between all the other 600's and I kept ending up back with the R6... but when I test ride some 600's thats when the truth with come out
