It looks like my English grammar: just wrong. All the time. You think the frame is bent. Your neighbour thinks, the frame is bent. Then you see the chains misalignment to the chain guard rib and have to drink beer to forget and relax.

As they say, it's all in the eye of the beholder: beauty.  For me there usually has to be a purpose. Sometimes, another way.

I could live with it--until I got to the bike frame--that's just wrong. However I have to admit that I was starting to twitch a little when I got to the glass.

None of it bothers me if functional.   Ya do what ya gotta do.  I would be interested in why the angled tube on the  frame is for.  Not the first time I've seen something like that though.

Good question. Just a guess but packaging would be my stab at it. Fitting the exhaust under there and exiting on the right while making room for the drive chain and the kick stand on the left? 

Or, someone got fired the next day at corporate?

Yeah, they could a dropped the other side down to "match", but that woulda been more material ($) for Yamaha and more weight (!) for us. 

The crooked little ass works for me :D

My guess is the frame is welded that way to have the bike chassis more up right in a left hand turn.

 

The white cube no thanks. Must be fun getting new glass for it! LOL

This whole thread is making me woozy. I can't handle all this asymmetry!
