I guess I'll be the first to say I hate it. I'm so F'n sick of retro.

"...Fcuk retro-anything..." (Tool, 1996)

I hope sometime soon the world can start looking forward again. A few NEW ideas would be a welcome change.
Yea lets just forget about where we have been in racing history. I think the retro yellow is long over due for Yamaha. Will I buy An 06 Yellow R1, Hell no! Blue Baby:rock

Its still cool to have em out there...:beer :beer

I think it would be better if they used a nicer yellow color.... Still go with the retro scheme but use a yellow that is a little more in the year 2005... ???

I think it's an awesome tribute. I only have one thing. If it is going to be a color scheme for the 06 R1 models and the say "exclusive", for the love of God please make it exclusive. The raven scheme was supposed to be exclusive but I see at least 10 of them at bike night.
