    New XJR1300 Yamaha

    Any thoughts on this bike?? I have never been a fan of Yamaha but this I find interesting...

    Yamaha have deepened their love affair with the yard-built scene, and given their ancient XJR1300 a thorough makeover for 2015 to capitalise on the continued hipster insurgence.

    Cool fairing. Good looking bike except for that oval side cover. I don't get that at all. And the blue tank reminds me of a car with a fender from a dismantler that doesn't match. Maybe that's hipster and I'm old school.

        Im not crazy about the "wings" at the bottom of the fairing. Besides that looks pretty good. The gas tank looks similar to a GS-G tank.

        When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"
