2013 FZ6R is it Hot or Not?

[Blackcat]

Technical specifications aside, is the new color scheme for 2013 hot or not?

Personally, it doesn't do much for me. Sometimes I wonder if Yamaha designs these color schemes with the full expectation that we're going to eliminate the decals as soon as we get the bike into our garages.

I'm very interested in knowing if the rest of you agree.
Is the 2013 Blue & White FZ6R Hot or Not?

It's fine...

I doesn't work for me. I bought the 09 Blue and I still like the looks of it ,decals and all. This one looks 80ish. Just my thoughts. No offense to anyone that likes it.

 

[Fizzi6ergal]

Yeah, it doesn't do anything for me either. If i got that color scheme, I would probably have a wrap at home to put on it or have it painted something else. But why would I buy a brand new bike that I would paint?

 

[Brock Kickass]

Bikes are cheap and easy to paint. I had my FZ1 parts in for paint before the front wheel was on the bike. I had plans to paint my 6R but sold it before I got the chance. Make it your own! I think the major manufacturers would be surprised at the numbers if they offered a bike with no paint or stickers, ready for paint.

Too many colors, kind of mis-matched. There can be great beauty in simplicity... look at a lot of Ducati bikes some time. The graphics are too busy....

I like a few of the elements, but a black or blue front fender and one or two of the other lines would look nice... it looks like they just took all of their designs over the last few decades and threw them together.

The white looks really good, IMHO. They took the 09 raven side decal and gave it the red frame and lost that off-red seat...

i feel like they just had extra plastics around and needed a way to get rid of them.... im not thrilled about the new color schemes but im not buying a new bike so i dont care lol

The new blue doesn't do anything for me...

I'd like to see another true copper... Not so much a reddish-copper, but a true copper/burnt orange, with a more intense/less flamboyant graphic...

In the blue ,it looks like the same decal scheme as the R1, just as it was in 2009. I guess they figure if you are a Yamaha race fan and don't want an R1 you will buy a 6R?

Yeah the blue one is too busy. Its trying too hard. If it just had the blue stripe with the fz6r logo on the side and maybe "yamaha" in blue towards the bottom with all the other crap taken away it would look pretty sweet. This would be an easy one to fix with your own decals because blue is easy to match. I like the white one though the painted frame looks like a portion of a star whuch kinda goes along with yamahas "star" theme even though this is a sportsbike so it doesnt really make sense. Looks cool though i think.

I have the 09 Blue with decals and all.. I still really like the looks. Infact when I buy the new side cowling eventually to replace my scratched one, I will get it with the stickers again.

I really like the look of this new blue/white/black one..

 

[Bert-Aus]

Hey Dart, that white looks way better!
The new blue with decals is ok, lil on the meh side.

But I dig the red frame work

 

[geekmaster]

I've got the blue 2009 version too, and like it much better than the 2013 blue version. That white fender just doesn't do anything for me. Although I do like the 2013 white scheme.

 

[BD1966]

Not, I don't mind the white - the blue made me jump on a 2012 raven

 

[06330i]

I really don't like the look of it. Looks like a design that should be on a ninja 250

 

[Brock Kickass]

I don't even see the point of this thread. Everybody knows the FZ6R achieved asthetic perfection with the special edition red and white 2010. They were also the fastest, and chicks dig guys who ride them the most.

 

[nismos14]

The blue looks too busy to me, the white and red looks awesome!

 

[JT]

Not a fan of any 2013 color scheme​

 

[Blackcat]

I wouldn't mind seeing an FZ6R tastefully done in black & red. In fact, if miracles do happen and Yamaha surprises me with red and black in 2014, I'll be first in line to take one home.
