I have been to the Milan bike show and though I would post a few pictures for you. The Yamaha ones first of course !!

Rossi's bike from the last round of the year.....

Also the new R6.....

Now some exotica....... MV Augusta.

Bimota....

I hope these are OK and if you have any bikes you want to see let me know I may have a few images of the bike you want to see......

Yam really have done a top job on the new R6.

Not just the styling, which makes it a dead ringer for the GP bike, but also because it's got an EXUP [the first 600 to have one I believe?] but I'm sure someone will shout if I've got that wrong

I was having a look at it at the NEC & it's a cracking looking bit of kit. Looks tiny when you're stood next to it, but when you sit on it it feels like a proper big bike. Clever clever stuff

I just love that R6, it looks sooo right. The swinger looks awesome behind that shortened can.

I wonder if i can talk the missus round

The rear No. plate hanger looks a bit of a after thought

Ron on the production line shouts
"or sugar billy we forgot this were shud i put it"

design engineer replies
"errrrrr just mak a braket and stick it anywhere "

so the bulls penker did have a good look at the above foto of the R6

-1 out of 10 for artistic design

I agree with drew on that one, you can tell it wasn't meant to be there, just look at Rossi's bike above and you can see where the lines come from, but no need for a plate on the track

I can see a few of these are gonna end up with the smallest plates ever tucked up as far as they will go

thats the point of the rear hanger Yam want it to be very easily removable to get people on the track on the R6!!!!
its not an after thought just an easily removable item!!!

I do like the bike as a whole but the number plate bracket is still very flexable looking and I think they could have made more of it by using a carbon post or something that looks better. But it is a very sharp looking bike.
