Motorcycle Graphics - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #71654 10 posts Started by Hanyo
here is the situation:

I've always loved how racing sport bikes look. Here is an example of what I am talking about.



Notice this is a Yamaha bike sporting fiat designs. Under motoGP, yamaha is competing under Team Fiat. So they have a reason for the fiat graphics on a yamaha.

This got me thinking, where is toyota in motorcycling. From my research toyota never made a motorcycle. (but they will soon future twoyota) Is it distasteful to put toyota's emblem on a kawasaki? Maybe helica design, or even TRD?


I know, I know everyone is pointing the finger and laughing at my ricer-ness. And anyone with team green is probably crying.

But while I was thinking about custom graphics, I had a hard time to think of things i like, and toyota was on the top list of stuff i would want to put on my bike. I dont want to do the typical flame graphics, if i wanted to do that I might as well add a mohak to my helmet and wear those motorcycle shirts that say "if you can read this, the bitch fell off." Trying to stay outside the box and do something I like, even trick some people who know nothing about bikes to think its a toyota smile.gif.


So let me know what you think, and If you have the photoshop balls. Upload a picture a picture of a sport bike with toyota graphics.

as long as is a Yamaha you are good.



As far as I know Yamaha made the 2jz and 2zz motors for Toyota possibly even more engines. However I think it would be kind of weird looking to have toyota emblems on a motorcycle.

I'd say go for it. Can look good if done properly. When I bought my Kawi the previous owner just bought a stack of stickers at Autozone or something and smacked them all over the bike, it looked ridiculous.

Do have to say, if Toyota ever makes a street bike I'd probably buy it.

1999 Celica GT
Yamaha made the 5S-FE and 7A-FE too, and I assume all the 3S engines. Yamaha has manufactured several of Toyota's engines. I'd say you are safe to do it.

yamaha is an engine whore, they made some ford engines also. Which gets me thinking why sport bike riders hate how little horsepower yamahas have.
yamaha makes the heads of several toyota engine including the legendary 2000GT

so if its a yamaha, putting toyota logo isn't a bad thing, i believe

idk what you guys are talking about but i ride an r1 2005 and ive yet to be beat by anyone that has wanted to race even by other gsxr1000 so by all means r1 rock and yeah they make many engines for toyota.

Yamaha designed the heads. I dont think they had anything to do with the engines
