I wish I had better photo of his bike (this was taken with a little digicam), but Greg Fryer’s Yamaha was one of the best looking Superbikes ever in my opinion. The thing had a striking paint scheme that was very reminiscent of the stock Yamaha colors, only much cooler.

Greg was a fast Minnesotan who turned in some good Superbike rides during a time when there where 15 or 16 factory Superbikes on the grid. I think his best result came on his home track Brainerd International Raceway in 2001 when he finished 14th.
