Race bike factory liveries
Discussion
Don't get me wrong, I am a Ducati fan through and through. I run a Scrambler and love it to bits.
But the launch of the 2018 Moto GP team livery is not the best !
I realise how much sponsorship is worth to the teams, but this is so 'busy' it doesn't appeal at all.
So, looking at the current crop in WSB, Moto GP or any other class, or past teams liveries, who has the best?

Apparently despite the lack of allowable visible cig sponsorship, Philip Morris are a MASSIVE backer of Ducati Corse. Pretty much pay for the race team. Some speculation as to why, but none that makes much sense.
Hence why the ‘basic’ colour scheme is still kind of Marlboro.
Ducati themselves, and even VAG don’t put that much money into the race effort.

Does anyone else think the forks look weird with the front fairings so far back? I know it’s needed due to the fork travel under braking, but it looks like the bikes are quite weedy from the side.
Yeah, I know what you mean, thought the same. Makes it look like a learner bike.I’d have thought it’s be as shrouded as possible. But shows what I know about aerodynamics.

I thought the same. It certainly doesn't make for a pretty bike.
Is there some sort of rule that everyone has to post two stroke bikes? It feels like it’s one of those threads where it’s important to hark on about the past and glory days and bemoan anything that’s modern.
Unsurprisingly, I don’t think many of those posted are particularly good looking fairing designs, but I’m sure I’ll get attacked for missing the beauty of the bike, even though that’s not what was asked originally.

Why do Philip Morris even bother? Does anyone associate the Ducati team with Marlboro? I certainly don't and I've been a big MotoGP fan for past 10yrs. Hence why the ‘basic’ colour scheme is still kind of Marlboro.

Networking mainly. There is far more to Motorsports sponsorship than a name on a vehicle. They also still sponsor Ferrari in F1. Just having this opportunity to bring existing and prospective clients to the big shows and be in the thick of it, in garages and at dinners with the stars is what is really behind corporate sponsorship at that level ( I used to be PR in Motorsport )Nor do I smoke
You can expect PMI to brand the Ducati bike though, probably this season if there are no hiccups. It will be for their IQOS non-burn e-cigarette products.
The problem with sponsorship is that there is an ever decreasing amount of it available each year. Teeth-rotting, high caffeine, sugar laden drinks are near the end of their lifetime if rumours are to be believed and it's not clear to anyone where that money could be replaced from if they are banned. They have almost single-handedly kept Motorsport alive in recent years.
