Yamaha FZ-09 being offered in TWO colors.. Only!? What are your thoughts

[Admin]

Looks like the Yamaha FZ-09 will be only available in two colors Liquid Graphite version.

Option #1: Liquid Graphite version.
Option #2: Rapid Red

Are two colors enough colors for you? Black and red are the most popular colors for motorcycles but .......... Mine have always been blue!..

That has been Yamaha's MO lately. Honestly, two colors is one more than they usually offer. For the last few years on the FZ1, there has been one color choice. I think a lot of their bikes have been that way. I guess they don't want to get into what Harley has gotten to, where there are so many colors that if it isn't black it is an upgraded and higher price.

I kind of like both. I like black more but do not like those blue rims on it. Just doesnt fit IMO.

Those rims just don't work. I found it to be a very odd choice.

Plasti-dip will take care of that in cheap/short order. Then when money permits, powder coat.

They could have put gold rims on both color bikes. That would look good.

Absolutely! Really miss my gold rims on my R6. Loved them.

I think the black FZ09 is starting to grow on me. I need to see one up close though... Might finally decide to replace the FZ6

I've never really been to bothered about colours as I have only ever brought one bike from new. My main focus has always been what's underneath it all. Having said that I do know I don't want black. My current bike FZ6 is black and is dirty as soon as it is cleaned.

We in the UK have four colours. One is deep amor - a deep mauve, very classy with matching front fender (only). Then a redish orange one - but on this one only the tank gets the colour. Why not the front fender and subframe trim like USA red one? We also have black. But no Rapid Red which I like. None of this would stop me buying one, though.
