Saw a yellow bullet ride by this evening on Gateway over I95. Look sweet!

I really like the yellow, my orange may get a painted yellow front fender and side panel as I like the balance of the yellow.
Sure it is very hot in the flesh !

I like the look of it but I wouldn't want it for myself living where I live. This here is Steelers country, and I'm not much of a football fan. Something about the idea of owning a bike all decked out in Pittsburgh Steelers colors when I don't follow the team doesn't sit right with me.

As a longtime Broncos fan, I bleed Orange and Blue. After the 98 Superbowl I wore a Broncos shirt every day. BroncsRule21 has a Blazin' Orange decked out with Bronco tidbits. I understand your not being a fan, but for us diehards they are much more than just colors. My wife paints her toenails Orange and Blue, know what I mean?

the color is yamaha 0251 - 'reddish yellow cocktail 1'. 'cadmium yellow' is just a model name for bikes with that color.

I kind of do, it's just I have a hard time understanding the appeal of following a professional sports team. I don't understand how people associate themselves with teams they personally don't play for. It's a concept I have a hard time wrapping my brain around.

Paint geeks! Post more pics!

I might have to drop in to my local shop to see if they have a yellow one yet.

Lots of people love motor racing but are not personally involved. For me it's living vicariously through the team or racer. Plus it's an excuse to drink beer and eat chips and salsa.

I have posted these elsewhere on the site when I first got her but figured I would toss them in here as well. Wanted to grab some better quality shots not using my cell phone but was too busy riding and working and unfortunately now the ground is covered with snow.





And her all loaded up and ready for the ride home from the dealership



Have some OES frame sliders, an integrated turn signal/tail light, and the yoshi tail tidy coming, also have plans for some new front signal lights as well as a new pipe for her this winter. So by the time spring rolls around she is going to look a little different. I was bummed when I realized that they hadn't brought the orange color to the 2015's but once I was in the dealership and saw the yellow in person I definitely don't regret it.

Picked her up last Saturday, loving it! Bumblebee:

I love the yellow FZ. Finally a colour that the stupid gold forks work with.

 

[VERSYS8]

Finally saw one up close at the dealer last week. While I love my LG, the yellow just "glows" with coolness. If I could tell Yamaha something, it would be to add completely new colors in just 6 months. Keep 'em coming, I say. How about a purple tank, like Europe. Anyway, Go Yellow!
My daughter finally got to sit on one yesterday at the show in Seattle. She was a little excited....

Does the cadmium yellow have the same deep pearl/glitter as the orange bikes?

 

[Screamingyellow]

Yeah, in the sun the pearl is evident, maybe not as much as the orange. I've had a yellow Zuma for 12 years, so when the salesman told me they were offering a yellow FZ for '15, my mind was instantly made up

 

[Foz]

Thanks mate, the yellow isn't being imported to Australia so I am toying with the idea of respraying one.
I might try and find a fz6r just to see what the colour looks like.

New to the site, my 2105 '09.

 

[abe57]

Yep got a yellow one also ..need to get updated photos

 

[2FNQUIK]

Figured I'd post pics of my buddy's build since this is the OFFICIAL Cadmium Yellow thread

 

[Steve101]

Looks better than the Rapid Red IMO, but I'm sure it's Not faster.

That looks awesome! Are the forks anodized or powder coated?
