Fresh off the factory line in Japan are two new Yamaha models. Well, they're not new per se, but they have new paint schemes.
The 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1 features a new colour scheme to commemorate the 2011 YZR-M1 MotoGP race bike, ridden by Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies. It's a fairly unspectacular colour scheme -- blue, black and white -- but is nothing if not traditional. It goes on sale in Japan on April 15.
The other model to get a new paint scheme for 2011 is the Yamaha XJR1300, which goes on sale in Japan on March 20. It features a new "Black Metallic X" colour with retro side stripes in silver and grey.
Stay tuned for local release dates.
