Motorbikes!  That was easy!













new yam - fazer I reckon.  Look pretty nice to me!  The bottom one bears more than a passing resemblance to the F1 Brutale so can see where yamaha got the styling tips.

Yep, looks like the new fazer, it has similar lines to that of the big fazer.

The bottom one looks like an update of the bulldog. Zombie is right, I wondered where I'd seen that headlight.

I would imagine the bottom one is to compete with the likes of the hornet and the zed thou.  In terms of styling i reckon it wees on the pair of them!

And the top "fazer" looks like someone bought it and added a powerbronze fairing that looks "alright" but never quite fits properly.

Yep, the new Fazer(s) is indeed what they are.

Strikes me that one looks like the Bulldog - saw a pack of them down the dealer yesterday. They must be fairly popular because they had about 6 brand new 'uns in - almost as many as the R1s they also had (which apparently leap out of the shop as soon as they come in *yawn* ).

T'other looks like the TDM I reckon - this is very popular in Europe allegedly, so one wonders whether Yamaha are targeting the Euro market on that style.

Can't see me buying another...


BTW, while I was there, some chap says to a salesman 'I'm looking for a 600', 'Fazer, SV, Hornet, blah blah' says the salesman. 'No, I was thinking of an R1' says the chap... Better keep out of his way then...

I had a go on a Bulldog the other day. Great fun it was especially as they had put race cans on it. Boy was it loud though. If I could afford a second bike it would definitely be on the list for the fun factor alone. Wouldn't want to tour on it though!

I think the bulldog is a bike that always looks better in the flesh. I hadn't really fancied one, till I saw it sitting in a showroom. Could I go back to a bike without a fairing? Probably not.
