Photo review of the 2009 MotoGP bikes:

http://www.motogpmatters.com/news/2009/04/...full_color.html

-Honda sporting a very small wind screen.
-What's with the booster seat on the back of Biaggi's.... I mean Pedrosa's bike?
-The Suzuki tail section alone could fit two Pedrosa's.
-Hayate, normally black is cool, but very unappealing on this one.
-Ducati still looking good, minus that fugly Gibbers one.
-No Playboy logo on the RdP bike for this race.
-Ducati Marlboro looking great with full livery.
-What's the lesson here? ... is wrong, cigarettes good.

-Winner, Yamaha. Tie between Fiat and Tech 3.

I like the Hayate bike..I think it's the best looking here.

To me it would appear only the factory ducati has the seamless carbon fibre swingarm and the pramac and gibbers machines have alloy??

They certainly appear to have finally parted ways, having supported Jorge throughout his GP career. They 'sucked' as a sponsor anyway

Must admit, did like the strawberry lid, but the Por Fuera logo looks brilliant. Always better to have a bit of personality as opposed to a corporate logo or brand, but at times like these you need all the sponsorship you can get. I guess they just pulled out their support due to the current economic crisis. Maybe Altadis/Fortuna can come back in and Jorge can smoke a tab on the rostrum instead of licking a lolly....he has come of age recently
