New color for 2017

[78YZ]

I saw this S10 at the NYC show today. Although it looks white in the picture, it is off-white or tan. It is almost as nice looking as my white S10. ;D

The new color is Desert Sandstone, available on Standard only. Another new color Cobalt Blue is the ES model and available on Standard also.

Not really.

Looks nice, shame it's not available on the ES though.

Still, not that dissimilar to my white 2014 ES, so I shall probably wait for a Gen3 full makeover idc. Some hope eh! The focus seems to be on the MT7/900s at present, squeezing as many niche filling alternatives as possible out of the two engine options.

Yeah, I hate that you can't get the ES & non in the same colors...it's not like the bodywork differs between the two. I like both colors for '17 though.

This color, Desert Sandstone, reminds me of "over-creamed" coffee. I like it about as much as I do the over-creamed coffee. I liked the '13 white and red; reminded me of my '81 SECA. Even my dealer doesn't understand the limited color choices. I wanted a '16 60th Anniversary ES. Tried talking him into switching out the yellow/black parts onto an ES....wasn't having any of that. Decided to get the cobalt blue '17 instead of the black '16. Gonna try some of Duplicolor's aerosol spray wraps for s***ts & grins. Worst case scenario, I just peel it off.

I really like the Desert Sandstone color. Id like to see that color in person though.

I'd love to have the yellow/black but I'm too far invested in the red/black. I'm kinda hoping they come out with a yellow/black FJ-09 :lamp:

 

[Gobear]

So wanted the sandstone..but needed the ES option... :0(

special colors only on the base bike are Team Tuning Fork's attempt to reward buyers who are not in need of electronic enhancements.
We happen to believe the big girl would look beautiful in anything, even yellow.... ::015::

I think my always dirty White '13 was Yamaha's inspiration for Desert Sandstone. Lol
