Picked up an older (03) Yamaha WR250F a couple of weeks ago. Wanted something to rip around my track out back and to take to the woods every once in while. Couldn't leave well enough alone. Had to go from the blue to the classic yellow look.

Painted the tank and got a 4 piece yellow plastics set for pretty cheap.

I now have a YZ450 sumo that went from blue to yellow. I got the anniversary graphics kit off ebay for not much.

I know Yam is pushing the blu-cru thing. Yamaha Introduces Support Program bLU cRU - Motorcycle USA

But, the yellow and black, bumble bee look was the best.

Great looking sumo. Yellow spokes would be on my list.

Weird I thought this thread was gonna be about A-10 warthogs.

Same bike here. What a little bada$$!! Currently awaiting left side radiator repair after ripping into a pine sapling while single tracking through a land grant trail. Thank God for proper protective gear....

Enjoy!

I'm sorry, I am from the 1970-80's
iirc:
Yamahas were white
Yours is Blue
and you painted it into Yellow?
Yellow?
A Suzuki?

Y & B What was Yamaha thinking....blue?

I really like both but the Yellow was cool. Well done on your bike, looks great!

White? Maybe....this is what I remember from that golden era.

US-market Yamaha YZs were yellow and black from 1975 through 1984.
Overseas and Canadian market YZs went to the white and red long before us, sometime in the 1970s. This explains why you see confusing images of early 80s models.

YZs were white and red worldwide from 1985 through 1990, with the exception of the 1989 and 1990 YZ250WR, which was white and blue. The 1990 factory race bikes had a very hideous white with dayglo orange seat cover look.

1991 and 1992 models were white and magenta (each year a slightly different shade).

1993 YZs were white ad purple...1994 they went to a purple frame as well. The 95s had a slightly different color purple. 95 factory race bikes were blue.

In 1996, they were dark blue/white. 1997s were navy blue. and so on.

I think Yamaha has an issue with color, lol. My favorites:
