I'm with Oooost on this one, the Ducs are the best looking bikes on the grid.

Apart from the oversized hugger, I think the bike is pretty sexy myself

Is it me, or do black GP bike look awesome............

Carbon fiber GP bikes are amazing looking, it's not just you Ben.

Yeah, black in general (not just carbon fiber) is hot. Not that you get to see them often, but the D'antin bikes have a pretty sweet paint job.

...Why do they always have no paint during preseason tests and stuff? Even when the team has a secure sponsor, the most they ever seem to do is a few white letters on the side. Why is that?

This is just venturing a guess but perhaps they don't paint the bikes in sponsor colors for pre season testing and new machine testing is because the factories are still finalizing bodywork and making slight alterations. Just a guess.

Talking about things that look good in black, the recent black airwaves Ducati 999 in BSB looked gorgeous
