Another company sells it soul ( and colours) to the corporate machine.

Yamahas should be blue.

The original speed block colours were white with red.

Here's a question for you though, take the Marlboro livery, is it only seen as good because it was on an amazing bike at the time. For example if Rossi or Finales were to win the championship, would that make people In years time look back on the new one with rose tinted glasses.

(Just a thought, personally I think that livery isn't great, could look good but the monster logo far too big)
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

The Marlboro livery doesn't work on a motorbike. I think it looked good on the F1 cars

Somehow I knew someone would post re the original white/red speedblock pattern, but for me personally there were a lot more bikes in the yellow/black including Kenny Roberts OW31 so it’s the colour scheme that screams Yamaha - for me.

The Marlboro livery has appeared on a lot of racing bikes and cars, so for that alone it doesn’t stand out for me, whereas the Schwantz Pepsi stands out, I can’t remember seeing it anywhere else in racing I’ve watched. That said it could just be that I was in a good place when the Speedladder and Pepsi colours were out on the track, so have fond memories of them.

That all said why hasn’t anyone brought up the Yamaha Boost colour scheme? We are talking epic stuff here Gents.

That's just a mess. It's too much.
And I don't see "YAMAHA" anywhere....why not?
