4Q2 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Can't bring myself to post.a picture of it, it's bloody hideous. Where they pissed when they signed it off, did the designers 4 yo get hold of a crayon and doodle all over the original design? Quote
Guest Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) What's wrong with it? Edited November 2, 2021 by goat Quote
4Q2 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 That is not a 2022 model! Honestly, it's gopping! Quote
Spongefinger Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Yeah, seen the pics pop up on sites today. Not a fan at all. Quote
S-Westerly Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Pretty ugly tbh. Can't say I'm a fan. Quote
Guest Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 This? Yeah not great. Wouldn't say it was horrible but it's not right either. Quote
bonio Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 It's dismal. The old XSR was beautiful. But this is so Frankenstein I reckon I can see the stitches. Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) It's a sign of getting old guys. I think most modern motorcycles are pug ugly. Given that most bikers are older it makes you wonder who is buying them. In particular I really dislike the modern tendency for exhausts to look like a bit of air-conditioning trunking stolen from the back of Matalans.

4Q2 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Posted November 3, 2021 I personally wonder what Yamaha were thinking. They've used Sarron's old bike in the advertising video. If it had been a race rep, fine! But it's a retro ujm, so unlikely to live on the track or have the need to squeeze every hp onto the tarmac. If Yamaha are confused as to what it is, what are the punters going to think! Wouldn't mind a 6 way gyro on my XSR though! Quote
DJP Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) To be fair, I've always thought that the XSR was ugly. A random collection of parts thrown together without a single flowing line through the whole plot. The 2022 is just another variation on the ugly theme. Edited November 3, 2021 by DJP Quote
timmy164 Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 At the end of the day, you buy a bike for its looks. I know this Yamaha will be an excellent bike, but god in heaven it’s terrible! Even when they don’t sell any and offer them at £1500 discount, I wouldn’t buy one, never! Quote
Stu Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 More pics and info here for you all to bork at Quote
