Nekkid in Paris

From the sketch book of Holographic Hammer as posted to its Facebook site, we give you the “R1M Cafe Racer.” The story is that French mag Moto Journal asked its readers what bike they’d most like to see a naked version of, and the Yamaha was it. Remember this is a sketch and only a sketch. The jury is still out as to whether Yamaha will bring the official version, the MT-10, to the USA or not. But if we’re only speculating, I like the looks of the Holographic one better. You? Not that I’m in any way biased just because there’s a 2000 naked R1 in my garage.

    Motojournal is the mutt's nuts. I love those crazy frogs.
    That sketch is cool, but yikes, what an ugly frame.

    Yep, the sketch is better than Megatron, and not just a little bit, but that's just an opinion.
