First time I've seen the Repsol honda's in their new colours this weekend. They're bloody ugly!

I was just watching morning warmup and they have these white colour schemes. They just look plain ugly.

Maybe if you check the motogp website?

I thought the Repsol vintage colour scheme was very good....it is just a shame that Nicky ruined it by throwing the bike down the road....

i wonder if that color scheme is just a one off or if thats what their gonna run next season?

Is this not a one off livery, they are using this in '09?

Your guess is as good as mine - I had no idea they were even running a different colour scheme for the race.

Ok, from your first post I got the impression you knew this was their new color scheme

I suspect it's not becuse:
- The orange has become such a trade mark.
- White is never good for attention

that paint scheme is because of the 40th year of existence of repsol. NH

Pretty good 250 race. I'm looking forward to seeing Kalio and Takahashi in Moto GP next year. Both have so much heart. I really hope they get competitive bikes. At the worst they'll be showing more fire than Hopkins, Vermulen, Depuniet and Edwards. Too bad Bautista is staying in 250 - but I guess he really wants to have that championship feather in his hat.

 

[somedamnwriter]

Yey! motogp already!

 

[Marijke]

oww I wish I was there in valencia!! a wave WHOOOO

lets hope motogp is as good, if not better, as the 125cc+250cc combined
