We're going to be honest here, the press package shots for the Yamaha Sakura didn't really get us in a huff. Something in them felt inauthentic, contrived even. I imagined a rocket designer complaining about doing a design only his grandpa would drive. In person, that's just not the case. This is a very handsome bike. The fit and finish is superb, some of the core elements are extremely innovative, the bike somehow balances delicate design elements and strong presence.
