I'm just looking forward to them bringing back slater skins to enable them to fit even more large logos on the bike;

Blue Buffalo/Slater Skins/Yamaha - Vital MX

For real though, worst looking factory bike ever. Feel like the blue rear end was the final piece to the grotesque puzzle they've created.

It almost doesn't look real. But it is...

I think those are by far the ugliest graphics in the past 15 years

Amazing line up of talent though

I like it. Clean up the side plates and I think it would change the way the whole bike looks. Maybe a smaller Honda text though...

Looks like they tried to make it similar to their Dakar Rally bikes. It’s certainly unique.

That looks like it was designed by a committee that never met.

Japan will be over the moon to have a company like that involved , I don’t think people realise how big of a company they are and what they’ve done in f1

I'm referring to the livery, not the sponsorship

It has to be up there with the worst looking factory bikes I’ve seen. One constant with HRC through the years is that the bikes have looked classy and subtle. This has the class and subtlety of a nuclear explosion. 

It’s a shame too because the Fox, Bell, Monster combo for the riders is a great look

If it had a blue seat cover, it would be perfect!

Yer it’s bold for sure 😂 they are advertisment boards with engines though I can see it going more this way , the ducatis similar in terms of the rear number boards 👍

Petronas involvement isn't the problem, that's great. The massive Honda logo and far too many colours with cramped side panels are what nuke it...

That's genuinely the least 'Honda' brand Honda GP bike I've ever seen. It's a car-crash.

Cool to see Petronas on there, but that thing is hideous.

I agree.  It looks a bit busy which isn't too far off from the TLD bikes or even Progressive, but a bit less logos and take the Honda logo down a tick, and it would look sweet.  Blue on the Honda bikes has looked good, ever since they started it in 1983, they are due to bring some blue back.

It's like they rode it flat-out through a sticker shop and just left everything on it that stuck.

There’s a lot going on for sure. But I bet in person it looks much better.

FMX inspired? I swear I've seen this at the XGames before

Maybe turn the darker blue to the same light blue color on the front logos? Blue makes everything better.

I like it. To me, MXGP bikes are supposed to be exotic and different looking. This looks very euro to me.

Petronas is a big get especially if Petronas moves across with the rally team.

Interesting considering the Trials team is still with Repsol and the MotoGP side has Castrol/BP. Oil companies for everyone!

Livery is sure fugly. It looks good on the Rally bike, not so much here. Just seems so odd when Honda has almost always been the traditional classy/understated graphics to this loud in your face design.
