Yamaha Debuts Red, White & Black Color Scheme For Valencia
images by image, thanks yamaha motogp

Yamaha MotoGP debuted a special paint scheme for Valencia—red, white and black. Here Edwards sits on the red and white bike—and check out that vintage '70s-style cap!	Valentino Rossi poses with both his Yamaha and the Yamaha 500 that Giacamo Agostini won the world championship on in 1975.	The entire Yamaha factory team poses in their new for Valencia garb. They stand, of course, in front of The Great Wall of Yamaha, a little-known tourist destination in Spain.	The red and white YZR very scarily resembles Haga's old R7 when decked out in this paint.
Rossi and Edwards add their name to the long list of riders who have raced red and white Yamahas, including Giacamo Agostini, Mike Duff, Steve Baker, Gary Nixon (1969 Japanese 250 champion), Dale Singleton, Jarno Saarinen, Bill Ivy, Kenny Roberts, Tadahiko Taira, among many, many others.
