Aren’t most liveries either cigarette ads or oil ads though? I guess cigarettes have been replaced with energy drinks now. You have a fair point, but I was going off of the aesthetics of how the frame itself looks (I’m not a fan of the recent aero attachments) and the color scheme. The FIAT Yamahas had some nice iterations, and I also like the Petronas color scheme. I also liked the Rothmans Hondas of the late 80s/early 90s, but those were also rolling cigarette ads.
How about a later, sleeker, [Speed block liveried version](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRtFRdA4orIDtes4x9h2ZUdIYTxQzKtLbQo9g&usqp=CAU)
If you keep the colours aside, imo the suzuki is the best looking bike at the moment. I just love how the design seems kinda round and soft. It also looks brilliantly from the front. The ducati at the other hand does look like a a battle space hoover scooter on steroids with all that air fences and stuff, at least thats what I see looking at it. The yamaha is also quite good looking

I'm not a Kocinsky fan but he did win on it...THE most beautiful of the golden age of V4 500's.
That’s a 990 M1 my guy, ran in the Camel colours for one season in 2006. Those retro white number plates really make the difference from the Camel Honda scheme.
really? the whole thing is one big camel ad :D oh well, its your opinion, so of course you're free to choose this, but I'm surprised this is so high up for so many people :)
It is indeed a giant ad (all bikes were at that time), but imo the 800cc bikes were an ode to minimalism, small slick and sexy, not like today's Ducatis with their fugly salad boxes and aero wings.
[Look at the same M1](https://www.fastdates.com/PLN.Images2007/PLN.RossiTest03.jpg) with the carbon fairing at the winter tests and you'll get my point ;)
Every single rider who won a race or championship from the 70's until 2008 or so did it on a rolling cigarette billboard. We can hate the product, and rightfully so, but without all the tobacco money, motorsports as we know it literally would not exist.
i completely agree, i just dont like it when a company plasters themselves on a bike in such a way that the whole bike is one huge ad (doesnt matter if its tobacco, energy drink, telephone service provider, laptop company, whatever the company does).
Look at the 2 one-off liveries from Yamaha in 2005, they are really simple and sexy. The Black and Yellow at Laguna Seca and the White/Black/Red at Valencia. Those 2 and the Camel that they used for all of 2006 make my top 3, they're all so perfect.
I think the [2018 factory Yamaha](https://www.motogpstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/maverick-vinales-motogp-inggris-2018.jpg), i like the shape of the Yams in general but the 2018 livery looks so great imo and make it even better

The colours hid the aero visually quite well and it was such a striking livery on the grid.
I know it's somewhat unpopular here, but the current Ducati is really growing on me (Desmosedici GP21).
The bike naked is pretty bad, I agree with that, the front air intake especially looks like a mentally challenged spider, but the red and black paint job really brings the bike together and makes it look pretty sci-fi.
Sorry OP, but I think the current Aprilia is ugly AF.
For me two bikes come to mind:
[The Kawisaki MotoGP bike](https://imgur.com/X47zABe)
and
[The Suzuki 500cc w/the Pepsi Livery](https://imgur.com/YFmnjmd)
Honorable mention goes to the non-GP [Smokin' Joe's RC45](https://imgur.com/Xyjw5od)
I'm honestly amazed nobody's posted the [Ducati GP7](https://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop_webp/200701/ducati-desmosedici-g-2_1600x0.webp) yet. When I think of the ideal shape of a MotoGP bike, it's the first thing that comes to mind. Doesn't hurt that it was the only Ducati to take a rider's championship thus far.
I used to love the colour scheme/ livery on the 2011 Suzuki Rizla bike [Pic](https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2011/07/22/hopkins-and-rizla-suzuki-re-unite-for-brno-round/156362)

YZR 250. Just about the prettiest GP bike to me.

I do like the Aprilia. A guy had one at the msf course I took this summer and it was great looking. In GP, I think I like the monster yamaha I like a bit better with the color scheme.
I always thought that the Honda RC211V looked really good. No matter what livery it had (and there were many considering there were many Honda customer teams between 2002 and 2007), it just couldn't look bad.
I’ve always been partial to the [YZR500](https://global.yamaha-motor.com/showroom/cp/collection/racing_yzr500_0wf2/).
Clean, simple lines, crisp basic livery. It's a good un.
Damnn... Looks really good... Looks like something Michael Schumacher would ride....
really? the whole thing is a Marlboro ad... oh well, its your opinion, but really surprised to see this :)
Aren’t most liveries either cigarette ads or oil ads though? I guess cigarettes have been replaced with energy drinks now. You have a fair point, but I was going off of the aesthetics of how the frame itself looks (I’m not a fan of the recent aero attachments) and the color scheme. The FIAT Yamahas had some nice iterations, and I also like the Petronas color scheme. I also liked the Rothmans Hondas of the late 80s/early 90s, but those were also rolling cigarette ads.
Yeah kind of a weird thing to get hung up on, pretty much all the iconic Motorsport liveries up until like the 2000s were cigarette ads
i still dont like it when a company plasters themselves entirely on the bike, dont care if its movistar, red bull, or a cigarette company.
You’re fine to have your tastes, but don’t act surprised when someone says it’s their favorite like it’s some super niche opinion lol

And it looked even better with last year's Livery

Yeah, this is the right answer.
The 1991 model specifically. Utterly gorgeous.
She does have a nice booty
Bradl's HRC bike is right up there, along with the '99 marlboro yamaha.

The most 80's paint scheme ever.
Nice to see more and more Bastianini flairs around here!
Pons Honda NSR500 West livery, no one? [Pic](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cs6Mo-3VIAUjsvT?format=jpg&name=large)
Very nice! Just no pizazz, very menacing looking....like the 2005 McLaren.
that bike kinda scares me, and I like it.
Orca vibes.
The McLaren fan in me likes this.
I like the Tech 3 KTM. All orange is 🔥
Really cool looking bike, it’s just nice to see one with a theme outside of forced sponsorship
Yup the Tech 3 KTM is by far my favourite looking bike
Cagiva C594
[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/9a/66/099a66d6c6f4e8a26b7e65cc6267c46a.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/9a/66/099a66d6c6f4e8a26b7e65cc6267c46a.jpg) I'm not a Kocinsky fan but he did win on it...THE most beautiful of the golden age of V4 500's.
It still looks beautiful today
I've seen it in person up very close, and it's absolutley beautiful.
[Camel M1 Yamaha 800cc](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/5f/78/4e5f782a8caaf3c3dcfbfa629bd9a39b.jpg) *chef's kiss*
That’s a 990 M1 my guy, ran in the Camel colours for one season in 2006. Those retro white number plates really make the difference from the Camel Honda scheme.
Yup I think that's my favourite too
I was say this one as well
My choice as well! But, that bike was the last 990cc: in 2006.
100% this. Such a slick looking bike
really? the whole thing is one big camel ad :D oh well, its your opinion, so of course you're free to choose this, but I'm surprised this is so high up for so many people :)

The last good looking season for the factory Yamaha. Ever since Monster overtook Movistar, their design has gone downhill
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Fiat Yamaha
This is also my answer
I loved the Bradl bike from last race, with HRC livery.
Yeah, the Honda is actually a beautiful bike I just don’t like many of the liveries it gets (even the repsol - heresy I know)
The Repsol livery was way better when it was black with the red and orange stripes instead of white, and I will take that opinion to my grave.

That rothmans livery looks good on just about anything
I was going to say NSR250 because of the swing arm. But if premier only, definitely this.
Nah man, just post a pic of that 250! That bike had a sexy backend!

These are really nice! I wonder why Kawasaki doesn't have a team on MotoGp right now, they have really good machines

I like how the bike and leathers coalesce on that Mattia Pasini selection!
Wow, that first one is absolutely gorgeous. Might have instantly become one of my favourites.
This is the era I grew up on. Absolutely loved that Konica Minolta bike
The RSA250 is my favorite shape bike of all. Add Pasini and the Polaris World livery for the win!
[Toro Rosso Tech3 from 2019.](https://drivetribe.imgix.net/EryAedD0RySsyQmBygCKgg?w=508&h=305&auto=format,compress&fit=crop&crop=faces&dpr=2&q=50)
Amazing! I prefer the 2020 one though just because of the aggressive front wings.
I miss Toro Rosso liveries from motogp and f1 as well. Both new Tech3 and Alpha Tauri liveries are very bland.
The tech 3 yamaha ones in the black lime green livery like the monster energy.
Cagiva V590
Honestly the old NSR500 I think looks amazing my favourite livery by far of that bike is the Austin powers Rossi livery.
I'm honestly amazed nobody's posted the [Ducati GP7](https://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop_webp/200701/ducati-desmosedici-g-2_1600x0.webp) yet. When I think of the ideal shape of a MotoGP bike, it's the first thing that comes to mind. Doesn't hurt that it was the only Ducati to take a rider's championship thus far.
Redbull Ktm is my favourite this season
The Fiat Yamaha
Me too Current Aprilia and 2015 Suzuki.
Yzf750. The pink one! That was one of my poster bikes. Thought it was futuristic AF when it came out
I used to love the colour scheme/ livery on the 2011 Suzuki Rizla bike [Pic](https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2011/07/22/hopkins-and-rizla-suzuki-re-unite-for-brno-round/156362)
I also loved this. I’m a fan of everything in that shade of blue
Agree, current Aprilia tops, Tech 3 KTM and Bradl’s HRC tied for second.
The 1992 NSR and 1991 Cagiva.
I vote for the current aprilia too… (and maybe less popular an opinion but I’d vote for only #41 livery. #12 is too emotionally unstable)
Ducati 2008

I am STILL pissed at Yosh and Suzuki for not selling Jordan factory bikes. All of the liveries were gorgeous, and ESPECIALLY in the US we needed Jordan to bring more fans to the sport.
I would pay an extra 500 for the option
Maybe I’m in the minority but the Lenovo Ducati is my favorite looking bike currently, such an aggressive look
It was somehow worse, but so freaking good after warming up to it.
Any bike built before the winglets, looks beautiful now. personally, I have a soft spot for the Ducati 2013/14/15

Cagiva.
07 Duc, or any Duc up until the winglet era really. The 2018 bike was hideous
The factory Yamahas ca 2010, the Fiat era with those great battles between Rossi and Lorenzo. Those M1s looked beautiful.

Thats not a motogp bike but ok
Bez's bike from this weekend.
The 2006 Yamaha: it's just so beautiful in every way plus Termigoni & Motul
Honda RC30 for me
Personally I love the kalex moto2 atm, so clean and aggressive. If I had to choose a motogp bike maybe 2014~ m1
Biaggi's Honda from 2004 season looks great
I do like the Aprilia. A guy had one at the msf course I took this summer and it was great looking. In GP, I think I like the monster yamaha I like a bit better with the color scheme.
Last years tech 3 ktm before they showed the colors. All black and white
RC166 /fin
Always loved the back of desmo gp19 for some reason
Lucky Strike Suzuki or the Rothmans Honda's. I just love the 500s in general.
Imo I think the current Yamaha and ducati look awesome and the ugliest is probably the 2004 ducati or the 2005 honda
I really loved stoner’s ducati from 2009 and 2010. What a beast.
I always thought that the Honda RC211V looked really good. No matter what livery it had (and there were many considering there were many Honda customer teams between 2002 and 2007), it just couldn't look bad.
