Liquidmetal Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Watched that one and all the rest in the series a while back. Good stuff, very interesting and a good time killer on a slow day. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 As much as I like the sound of motorcycles ( and the 4cyl crossplane in particular), the only music that bikes sound like is death metal. Distorted guitar with emphasised odd order harmonics. You would think that from the company that made the very first electronic piano that actually sounded LIKE a piano ( The PF15: 4 different types and 2 types of harpsicord, a clavicord , a spinet, a glockenspiel and a xylophone) that they probably could make a motorcycle sound superbly resonant. But they don't. And beauty???? When I look at the 07 all I see are angular manga ugly styling, and because of the rear tyre being so oversize, a fat arse. Now I LIKE fat arses, but on women, not motorcycles. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 My penchant for the more womanly rear predates that video by some decades. Even Freddie Mercury and co were a little late to influence my tastes. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 FWIW, I disagree about the 07 design. To me it looks purposeful with some pleasing details. It seems much less 'forced' than the XSRs trying to be something they are not and different from the originals to little purpose. I like the hunched profile a lot. And it goes the way it looks - back to that video. All IMHO, of course. The piece on 'How we designed the 07' in Yamaha's Design Cafe shows how the styling exercise becomes what we now buy. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidmetal Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I've done my part to keep Yamaha going. At some point, I have had Yamaha dirt bikes, street bikes, ATVs, snowmobiles, watercraft, and generators. Often multiples of them.
