Not complete. Showing 2019, 2018 and 2021 models. I don't think that's gospel, just some marketing wanker's release. All the peeps drooling over the 700 will be bummed if it's not coming until 2021.

Wait and see, just like every year.

wow thats fugly
Well I wouldn’t describe it as fugly, but I prefer black wheels to blue. As far as the body colours go....... Why have Yamaha chosen such a drab and boring colour scheme when they have given us the brilliant yellow speed bar body work and the terrific red and even the desert sand colour schemes.

I don’t like the picture AT ALL, my opinion a white bike should be white and not just the fuel tank, the blue wheels look like crap on a white bike.

It's like they're trying to save money on painting. It looks like the fuel tank is the only painted item. The rest is just matte plastics. The early bikes looked great with lots of colour. Now drab is the order of the day. Maybe they will start offering sexy decal kits in the accessories range? My bike could do with a lift...!

Looks like a parts bike. Just a bunch of spare parts from other bikes Frankensteined together.

I've always said I don't care what color it is, I just buy what they have. This new one would probably get me looking for a used one, or a left over from last year.

The only way it could be worse is if it were all black. I stopped buying black because as a family we tend to total every black bike we own. With that track record, somebody could get hurt sooner or later.

Not a fan of the color scheme. Blue rims look good. Would be nice if they had other color rims such as red. It has to be hard coming up with colors for these bikes. In looking at show rooms at other bikes.....Yamaha could be accused of copying other brands. Soooo many bikes for sale from every bike manufacturer. Sooo many different colors. Guessing a factor in the decision is that there are a lot of aftermarket choices that are inexpensive. Wrapping, painting, coating, dipping, decals....... Now that I think about it....it could be a genius idea coming up with something bland or a blank canvas then everyone can make a unique bike with one of the low cost aftermarket options. These custom jobs can and probably will attract attention.
