    Amen. That Roberts retro Yamalube era graphics on Rossi's bike is a home run. The 2015 MotoAmerica version of Josh Hayes bike was a smokeshow too.

    IMO the last of the 500's were my favourites. The Rawness of the 2 stroke, but the sculpted swoopy bodywork.

    Kawi had their historical GP bikes at COTA a few years ago... it was awesome to see the evolution in complete bikes on display.

    Why do they have treaded tires on the king's Yamaha?

    Probably how it was bought and delivered. Mr Barber likes accuracy, so I would think before it’s permanently displayed, it’ll have Goodyear slicks.

    Yellow/White/Black is how Yamaha’s should look. I never liked the switch, especially to blue. But I’m getting old…

    All tires have tread. Some have grooves in the tread.
