Stoner in Repsol paint
- Thread starter xx CURVE xx
- Start date
I like Repsol Honda's, i think they have almost always looked cool (02 being the exception) but they aren't really news when they present themselves as hthe changes are so minor.

One Heart” is the tag line of the new logo that will appear on the RC212V’s and on the front and right arms of the rider’s leathers and belongs to Honda’s joint venture operating company in Indonesia, called Astra Honda.
Meh, I perfer the Bob Marley tag better. If they made the "one heart" Marley colored stripes I would get it, but For Honda they need an entire paragraph to explain what it means.......FAIL! When you read what the Sponsor put on the bike without any other context, its meaningless. It could very well be a cancer thing for riders, who knows. Again FAIL!
Honda still builds great machines, but dam they need to hire a decent designer and better communications people, seriously!
My first reaction is, that it somehow doesn,t look right, because I am so used to seeing him in Ducati red. I suspect that it will look "normal" sooner than I expect.
I rather liked his white leathers/ white bike combo- who would need to sponsor the team for that to work??
Rossi, also looks "odd" in ducati red, but I am starting to get used to it.
I am very curious how the dynamics in the Honda box are going to pan out. Casey and Dani (and Dovi, as far as I know) get on pretty well. Will that change when one of them (probably CS) starts to get a good points lead and has more input into bike development?

Dang - maybe it's the photo but Stoner looks five years younger in it. Shades of Dorian Gray.
That tiny little photo the bike brings out the "bin-ther-don-that" reflex - but MgP bikes are
different and when you see one up close - even with a bad paint job - they're always sexy.
I got to see Spies bike up close a few weeks ago and it looked lethal. When I go by a Honda
dealer and see a brand new 1000cc Honda with Repsol paint job - it still looks bad-... to me.
I remember back in the day absolutely HATING the Pepsi Suzuki and Rothmans Honda
paint jobs - but now they're total classics and I'd kill to own a replica of either one.

I agree it doesn't look right to see him in repsol colours after following him for 4 years on a ducati, and following ducati for many years prior to his tenure there. I guess I will get over it when he hopefully starts winning races for repsol honda.

looks like Doohan minus the balls
Seeing the way Stoner rides, i would say out of the current crop of riders he has just about the biggest balls of them all
First year on the Ducati he won the championship.
Whats the bet first year on the Repsol he wins the championship?

Who would ever hate on a Rothmans Honda..Those were one of the best paint jobs ever. I even love the 80's ones..
