If you guys havent seen this on the first page its a great article. These bikes look incredible. No way can you make excuse anymore about these bikes. The new stocker is already a great bike, much thinner, best suspension in the class, tons of hp. These bikes are trick. The first graphic designs I wasnt the biggest fan of but damnnnnn these look good now. Coop is primed and ready for his breakout season on this new bike. They finally worked out most of the kinks and I cant even imagine whats under the hood of these factory bikes. These are badass. Thin chassis, tons of hp, great suspension, great riding position... Yamaha's time is now.

wait...
does anyone else smell pork?
Kawasaki manages to pull off the Claw.. Barely..
Just think of the potential of those graphics if they did not have the huge claw on mandatory black background..
Whatever pays the bills I guess..
Also; whats that Knich clothing brand thing that is launching at A1 in "Janruary"?
The Shop
It is what it is and we should be grateful for the great sponsorship, it just takes away from the good old factory looking bikes.
Hope they took some off reed's critisims and turned them around
Factory Yamaha should be silver rims, mag hubs.
Side Note: the white/baby blue is incredible.
And yeah, Monster logos are barf.
Honda – Gold rims with black/silver hubs or silver/silver
Yamaha – Silver rims, mag hubs
Suzuki – Yellow both
Kawi – Silver or black rims, green hubs
KTM – Black rims, orange hubs
Husky – Silver rims, blue hubs
It’s the Monster logo itself and what it represents. I cringe when I see it. I cant help but think of DirtShart.
Monster/Kawi
KTM/Red Bull
The brand association there is hard to shake.
And on factory teams it looks best if hubs match OEM color.
Just my opinion.
Pit Row
This year some of the logos are more clunky than the atrociously long team name. Monster Energy, Yamaha, Yamalube, Yamaha Financial Services, Yamaha Pianos, GYTR, Yamaha Quad, Knich, GET Factory Racing Team brought to you by Yamaha and Monster Energy Blue Cru.
Keep it simple. Geico Honda. RedBull KTM.

My other KTM I did design...
