I agree. The old yellow with the photo-negative bar pattern thing was cool. Unfortunately, Suzuki also ran yellow at the same time and both seemed pretty intent on sticking to it (except in Europe, where I believe the YZ came white). Eventually, though, Yamaha went white everywhere, and then eventually went blue. It's nice that they have that color, because it really does look quite nice, but I would have preferred Suzuki to go blue and Yamaha keep that pattern going. It was their trademark, like the grille of an Aston Martin or the livery of Union Pacific trains.
