2012 FZ6R Colours

[Superzoom]

Just popped over to the Yamaha Canada website and there are two colours, raven and white. Slightly different graphics than past years for both. The interesting thing is the white is almost completely clean, so no more questions about removing decals (especially the tank).

Here they are:

I really like how clean they both look. I like my yellow star the best though. I have pride of ownership

Really like the reduced graphics on the white one. Really wish they would make more white bikes in general.

This was posted the other day. The black bike is last years Reddish/Copper decals. Exact.

I actually think white bikes are a current trend. Lots of white bikes recently.

For some reason I don't see a ton of white bikes around me. Then again, it seems like 9/10 sport bikes in my area is a Gixxer. If I got a white bike, I would definitely stand out around here.

Hmmm... Not quite. Better have a closer look. Same design but colors have been altered.

Doesn't look nearly as good as the 2011 Copper, IMHO.
And how boring is that white version?

So I guess y'all don't like the plain white that a few of us members transitioned ours to? I really like the new white, minus the wheel stripes. Looks just like mine plus one decal.

You're correct. The tank graphioc is color reversed. The fairing graphic is either exact, or slioghtly red shifted. Impossible to tell from a pic like that due to lighting/contrast differences.

Nonetheless...lame. Put in a little effort Yamaha, besides pushing the red slider on the Adjust Hue screen in Photoshop. I mean, how much can designing a decal really cost???

I really like the white one. In hindsight I might have went white instead of blue if I had seen Kevin's bike before mine

I'm just going to assume you mean my bike and say 'Thanks Pal'

So they fixed the white colored fz6r, and messed up the raven... Yep makes sense.

 

[Parcho]

Basically swap 2011 Raven to White base and swap Burnt Orange to Raven... creative

i love my copper but they should over haul the color schemes.

2012 fz6r

Stumbled upon the release of the 2012 FZ6R and the first thing that came to mind was..."Only two colors?" Followed by "Well that looks...plain" (in reference to the white color

Now either I caught it early and more colors will come out (doubtful) or they really only released the 6R in two colors this year.

Now, I know not every year needs to come out with a fantastic color/design...but its like...they didnt even try with the white. Now maybe simple lettering is the 'in' thing, but I can see sooo many ppl just stripping that off because why bother, its the only color add. The black took the idea they had with the orange and kind of added a little flare, doesn't bother me..I like it...the overall-ness of it just reminds me of a 1 hour stoners attempt to do his math homework, incomplete ideas.

Anyway....I found that after the new R1 release with traction control....the white kinda looks sexy if anyone wanted to check it out
