Bez should have a better weekend with the best looking bike… I know it’s a 23 but I think the ugly paint this year hurts him more

 

And he was on the podium last time too… damn… rough living in that shadow

 

The Jap bikes look phenomenal. Too bad this is the most we'll see of them this weekend.
Trackhouse is a bit cheesy; maybe I'd like a front view more, IDK.
Factory Duc looks clean but also a bit lazy.
VR46 is probably the best after the Jap bikes. Followed by the Austrian machines. Then either Pramac or Aprilia. Aprilia honestly isn't my favorite looking but I can respect/recognize that is a very historically prominent scheme for them. Gresini is fine but just doesn't quite do it for me.

 

Old School Castrol FTW

 

Yamaha and LCR looks good!

 

The Aprilia RS250 Chesterfield homage is beautiful.

The factory Yamahas are also well done with the Lawson tribute scheme as is Zarco's Castrol Honda.

 

I have always loved the Castrol Livery back in the old WSBK days when Rea was riding the wheels off that thing, sometimes winning, sometimes bowling people down. love this look even if we wont see much of it in the race except for it bouncing through the gravel trap.

 

With the new concept of 'Old New Graphics'?

 

That colour scheme goes back further than that.

 

I feel let down by the hype. The factory Duc looks the same, VR46 is just a mess of sponsor stickers or every color. Standouts for me are the Pramac livery and the LCR Castrol. Trackhouse did a decent job of something original since they're so new, but I think everyone is biting their tongue waiting to hear if they announce Joe or Ai to determine if they love or hate them, haha.

 

You're right. The race had a neat article digging into the references of each livery and the factory Yamaha livery references the 500s ridden by Agostini and Saarinen. I stand corrected.

 

Ducati Lenovo should be booed mercilessly for that "effort."

 

So anyone catch the happy little pirate’s garage number? he’s going to have a better weekend for sure now

Meh. None of em are as cool as the old Yamahas of Edwards and Rossi at Laguna in yellow and black.

 

Papa and I were discussing Mike… he may have not been a world champ rider but he impacted the sport in a very positive way… respect for sure
