Dall'igna says there will be significant changes to the fairing at the Sepang test. They don't want to reveal them yet to not give rivals a chance to copy.

I don't like how sponsor heavy it is, but that comes with the territory with successful bikes. Still, I miss the simpler liveries of the past.

To be fair, they did present Alex' and his bike first. Which was a nice touch.Anyone notices the absence of Alex in the Gresini pictures. It's all Marc!
Spotting the differences between the 23 and 24 bikes was like playing one of those games of spot the differences.

Often the bike on display in the release is the 2023 bike repainted in 2024 colours so not to give the competitors a head start on analysing their bikesAnyone notices the absence of Alex in the Gresini pictures. It's all Marc!

Yea it is sponsor heavy and the rear wings with the whole dinosaur look is a little off-putting but overall it's gorgeous....but I like all the liveries...even Gresini. To be honest, Gresini really grew on me last year but I tend to stay away from flashy things when buying for myself. My car is silver. I like to look at red cars, tattoos and fake ....s but none of them are for me.
I prefer the real thing myself. lol
I assume this is partly because most teams cannot get one major sponsor ala Repsol Honda, Red Bull KTM or Marlboro @ Ducati.
Factory Ducati probably don't want to change from their iconic red and therefor limit the chances of being able to have one major sponsor who dictates the design of the livery.
Depends on the quality of the fake or real ones TBH.

Francesco Bagnaia says he “didn’t understand” the thinking behind Ducati being hit with so many restrictions under the new concession rules
Bagnaia critical of Ducati’s MotoGP concession restrictions for 2024Very short memory people have. I guess the concessions Ducati got from 2015 onwards were easier to understand?

Not the prettiest but at least it's a break from all the dark liveries that plagued the paddock all these last years. In some aerial views you couldn't tell which one was a KTM, a Yamaha, an Aprilia, or a VR46 Duc.

We will easily spot a VR46 Ducati
