Best paint scheme ever...

What do you think is the best ever looking paint job on a bike, not just in motogp but any international or national class. Even ones from the past could count.

Ooost and i both agreed Ben Bostroms '01-'02 red blue and white L&M 996 Ducati was real pretty.

And im not just saying this but Rossi's personal yellow goes real well with the gauloises blue. His bike AND leathers are just a work of art i think- and im prob not the only one who thinks that either...

I agree with the BB L&M Ducati livery, great stuff. And I really think Rossi's yellow with Gauloises Yamaha blue goes great. I really like Marco Melandri's Spiderman Fortuna Yamaha. Troy Bayliss' 2001 WSB Champion Silver Duc at Valencia. Lucky Strike Suzuki of Kevin Schwantz, I have always been fascinated by their sponsorship, especially at tobacco banned countries where it is printed "Look Alike". Probably why I'm such a big BAR and Jensen Button supporter.

All I can think of for now.
 
How did I forget the Red Bull Suzukis from Laguna Seca this year? I love all Red Bull livery so add Red Bull Yamaha and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 effort.

Also how did I forget the yellow, black and white Yamahas of the Kenny Roberts era as well as the Retro yellow M1s of Rossi and Edwards at Laguna. Great stuff!
 
as far as the best, i don;t real know what i would put just yet, but one thingi do know is that the Rossi Gauloises Yamaha paint is the most bland and boring paint scheme, EVER. I just can't get excited about seeing "GO!!!!!!!" as a graphic, i guess lol. yeah the colors work, but thats about all.
 
You americans and your graphics.... this isnt fast & furious!! lol (only joking)

Graphics dont really do it for me, its more the colours and where abouts on the bike the colour is applied. For example Tamadas Honda looks slightly different to the movistar hondas because their different colours highlight different areas of their bikes, comprendes?
 
I've always been a fan of Kagayama and the Rizla Suzuki livery. Also a fan of Koji Honda, Foggy Petronas FP1, Vrigin Mobile Yamaha and the old Monster Mob Ducatis. By the way who is the new sponsor for the Ducati effort, the team Haslam rides for.
 
That's what it was, Airwaves Ducati. Sorry, I like those bikes too. All Ducatis look nice, even the boring Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin that Eric Bostrom and Neil Hodgson ride here in the states.
 
the 2001 and 2002 GSE 998 Ducatis were nice in orange too. In fact the '916' looks nice in pretty much any colour, i think it is THE most beautifull bike ever, and thats inc GP bikes too IMO.
