Yamaha confirmed that Ben Spies next year would be putting in a wildcard appearance at the MotoGP season finale at Valencia before his official switch to the series and added that they would be sending two M1’s directly from Japan and that the livery would be based on Yamaha’s corporate colours.
The blue and white Yamaha in the pic will be displayed at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show later this month, could be what Spies livery could look like at Valencia.
Elegant and cool looking, but it looks a little too much like what Spies runs on his Yamaha R1 in the WSBK Championship minus the sponsor logos.
If anyone from Yamaha reads us, we wouldn’t mind seeing the the classic yellow/black/white livery that Yamaha ran way back when and revived for the Laguna Seca GP in 2005 or the other red and white classic that that we saw again at Valencia in 2005.
