The best looking bike of 2024. Great job yamaha.

All I can say is, Yamaha better be bringing this to the USA.

[yammienoob]

I swear if Yamaha doesn't bring this to the states....

That black looks so gorgeous!! Time we bring back bikes that looks like a poster bike !! Enough with the pointy edged design.

[Highwaymm]

Dear God, Please come out in America. 🙏

Man this is the most beautiful bike I've seen in sometime. What a beauty

[chep]

Best looking road bike released for decades. They’re on a roll, their choice of retro dirt bikes for ‘24 was a winner as well. Congratulations Yamaha! Other manufacturers need to take a leaf and go bold!

The kids at the end were having a lovely time!

I’m not a sport bike fan but that is bloody nice. Takes me back to 90’s GP bikes. Power valves etc etc

Put 2 round headlights on it and it would be perfect!!

Other motorbike channels have journalists who are enthusiastic about bikes. Bike World has petrolheads who are enthusiastic about journalism. The buttomline difference might not be that much, but you guys always achieve to extract that little bit more information about eacht bike that others cannot fathom. Well done, love each of you!

I remember growing up in those times too (and taking my formative steps as a motorcyclist).
Good times definitely. Bikes were certainly powerful enough, beginning to handle better than most riders could outrider them, tyres were also becoming very good. Less speed cameras and less restrictions.
The music was brilliant.... I could go on.... but definitely a 'golden era' of technologies coming together for the everyday regular motorcyclist. Bikes were much less complicated too. You could actually service your own bike and diagnose issues without automotive diagnostics training!
This is why my 'youngest' bike was manufactured in 2007! Keeping it simple. I even have a very tidy '91 Yamaha TDM 850 for that 'garage door' feeling! Now there is a bike they could relaunch for the current era!
Happy and safe riding everyone!😊

Love this bike. It is going to be a commercial success. Fantastic looks and the engine is near to perfection.

[motoboomer]

Cannot believe how cool that bike looks. It looks like it came from a Japanese manga. Reminds me the time I saw a Genesis 600 in 96, and I was hooked for ever.

[SaqibKhaliq]

Really nice. Manufacturers need to build more faired bikes like this, with semi-comfortable clip ons for street use.

[CheapskateMotorsports]

Would have prefered a larger front headlight and larger tail with storage space like an actual 90s sportsbike, but honestly its about damn time our generations got some of our nostalgia marketed to. I cant wait to see more 90s inspired bikes like this and the katana

[SportRider]

Best looking bike in years. Well done Yamaha !!!!

[bananadane]

You're obviously a motorcycle writer from my generation and I'm finding it endlessly charming

[JamesExcell-InterJex]

Looks on this are phenomenal.
Gorgeous bike! A+

Yamaha! Bring this to America. With the gold wheels.
