The first official 2013 MotoGP pre-season test will start on Tuesday at Sepang, but Valentino Rossi’s Yamaha M1 livery for upcoming test has already made an appearance on Twitter, just to bring up the hype.
The 2013 M1 is so sophisticated that it used its own Twitter account Yamaha M1 @YamahaYellow46 to reveal itself and it is intelligent enough to posts comments in Italian like, “Aspettando il mio amore @ValeYellow46 – waiting for my love ValeYellow46.
While this will not be the definite livery as it is the same used in the Valencia/Aragon test, however now you can see Monster Energy logo, as the energy drink company will be co-sponsoring the Yamaha team along with Yamaha Indonesia’s Semakin di Depan and Eneos, and the front fender is painted with Rossi’s trademark yellow with a VR46 decal near the dashboard.
What you can’t see if the M1 is already equipped with the new seamless shift gearbox that is rumored to make its debut this season on the Yamaha factory bikes.
