Love it or hate it, Yamaha’s “Race Blu”
livery is back for a bevy for Yamaha’s 2014 models, including the 2014
Yamaha YZF-R1 and 2014 Yamaha YZF-R6. Debuting in Silverstone during the
British GP, the special livery is supposedly based off the colors that
the factory Yamaha Racing team uses in MotoGP, except for the minor
detail that the special color scheme really looks nothing like the
livery currently found on Lorenzo or Rossi’s Yamaha YZR-M1 race bikes (expect a livery change in Misano, perhaps?).
That being said, it is an attractive design with its matte black and shiny blue paint, and the Race Blu livery should help sell a few more units for Yamaha, as we have gotten word that the R1 and R6 will go without a refresh for the upcoming model year…again. Last year the Race Blu painted bikes stayed in Europe, and we expect the same for this year as well. Sigh…maybe 2015 will have some surprises in the sport bike category from the tuning fork brand.
