So, all the MotoGP liveries have finally been shown off. Despite all of them looking the same as last year, let’s look at the best ones for the premier bike racing series!

5. Mooney VR46 Racing Team

I must say, there are no bikes that look particularly bad, so choosing number 5 in this list was quite difficult. But I think the second ever VR46 deserves this spot. The black (my favourite colour) in contrast with the brilliant Rossi yellow and Mooney sponsor colours… It all compliments each other flawlessly. Bloomin’ beautiful.

4. Repsol Honda Team

Ok so this is the first of the bike liveries that has remained more or less unchanged for multiple decades. Not that it’s something to complain about though. The way the livery design has aged proves that true timelessness is truly possible. The orangish/reddish wheels have to be the main attraction, though. Providing for one of the most unique and sexy looks on the grid.

3. Ducati Lenovo Team

Ducati has to have one of the most wild bikes for this year. Looking like 2008 F1 cars with the way things seem to be flaking off it, the aero looks like it could easily decapitate an unsuspecting pigeon. Not only do the aero pieces add a unique allure to the bike, but Ducati have absolutely nailed the livery. Going with a darker red to previous years, the thing looks more evil than Mercedes AMG F1’s Darth Vader car. Bike go vroom. And this bike be very vroomie.

2. Aprilia Racing

If the Ducati looks like Darth Vader, the Aprilia IS Darth Vader. Being one of the only teams on the grid to have a matte finish to their paintjob, the bike absolutely stands out. With, of course, the stunning Aprilia logo pasted across the side. This one will be a pleasure to watch go in circles, lap after lap. The design is topped off with the Aprilia red being added on, which will make it look even better as it slices through the air.

1. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP

Okay so I may be a bit biased when it comes to this, with Yamaha always being in my Yamaheart thanks to Valentino Rossi. You know what though, the 2023 Yamaha is a charming development from last year.

The best part being the blue, which now looks like it’s being torn off by the sheer speed of this monster, piloted by Franco Morbidelli and the infamous El Diablo. The blue, looking basic to some, looks classic to me. The consistent dark colours used on the YZR-M1 makes it look like stealthy on track. Designed in Yamaha’s fortress and manufactured to terrorise.

So there we have it, the top five MotoGP liveries for the 2023 season. Do you agree with our choices? Let us know how you’d rank the grid in the comments. Or tell us your favourite pizza topping. That too is acceptable. Anyway, I’m off to Offal Fest so see you guys later!
