Yeah, but it is good marketing. Overall, Yamaha seems to have more long term respect for their former riders, at least they seem to showcase them a little more. Sure, Suzuki and Kevin Scwhantz are a constant presence, but more could be done.
Yamaha is also pretty cool in that Eddie won his last championship on a Honda, and at the very least, nothing disrespectful is being said.
I don't ride a Yamaha either.
