Default Yamaha announce title sponsor

Not really a surprise, it's been whispered about for long enough, but they finally announced Fiat as the title sponsor of the "Fiat Yamaha Team"

Expect to see this as a rep at a bike meet near you :P

How dull a paint scheme is that!

Yeah dull paint job.

Why not call it ferrari or alfa romeo Yamaha instead and paint it red? Much better.

I hope this doesn't means that the Rossi title hopes will go rusty, elecrics fail and bits fall off!

I think the paint scheme looks ace. But Fiat is a bit of a boring sponsor.

Ugliest, unimaginative paint scheme ever. I'm surprised Rossi accepted.

I'm not surprised. Rossi changes his colours to suit his needs. What happened to his anti tobacco stance.. yep went down the bin with the promise of Gauloises sponsorship.. I bet he's made a packet out of that. Remember he's Italian, I bet hes on some clever deal to reap money out of Fiat for appearing in advertsing etc.. he's not daft and TBH can you blame him.

It doesnt look that bad. I've seen worse on a race bike / F1 car.. look at that mess that Honda have turned out for F1 this year.

I like the paint scheme myself.

As for boring sponsor, I would have thought the point of sponsoring(FIAT in this case) is to be associated with something that a company may not be generally be seen as. For example "not boring"
