If you were impressed then i'm pretty sure id be ecstatic.......such competition though i really like those Z800's.
& those fancy paint schemes are the icing on the cake.
I haven't been riding bikes that long but i've always been into them, since before i was a a teenager......or was that just the backstreet heroes babes
........anyway it seems that bike paint is like the economy......every 10 years we go through a peak & then a trough........bland or stealthy or discreet or conservative........to in yur face, woohoo, look at me, crazyness........& all the while something in between.
Bike design has become too boring & samey but utilitarian......& easy & quick paint is the norm......but now all of a sudden there is the glimmer of a resurgence.....bikes are getting fun again & the style is taking a front seat....because the average sunday rider punter wants that....work their arse off all week, stressed out their nut & then lose themselves in an attack of the senses day out....so what if you gotta stop to fuel up after 100 miles....you'll bloody want to anyway just to gloat to your mates about how much they focced up that last corner...& have a bacon butty....& if you can admire some crazy good paintwork while eating that butty then all the better i reckon.
So im guessing now but those paint schemes are yamaha endorsed i thought they said...so surely they are of good quality...if the sprayer has got a contract with a leading jap uk company then you'd think they'd want to get a good reputation...because it could hit off & become mainstream.
But perhaps it's yamaha putting the feelers out & if nobody pays the extra for these trick paint versions then they'll never make it mainstream.....i reckon they'll be a hit.
