  1. We don’t believe in graphic changes like altas has done from 2 decades….. Haris bro I like your words when you say that yamaha is a global company and don’t believe in graphic changes in new models…. There should be some necessary changes that every yamaha Ybr rider and blogger has discussed in his videos… Yamaha pakistan should focus on yamaha user reviews. I wished that 2020 model of ybr G would have fuel tank graphics just like similar to yamaha R1, R15. Emblem with Yamaha written or only YbrG.
