Rossi and Yamaha are due to announce the new livery on 5th March, according to Crash.net. Rumour has it Fiat will be the official sponsors. I've tracked down a few pictures of what the new bike might look like...

Then the designs start getting silly...

I think some were from a competition for designing his bike colours.

I quite like this one, for the Tech-3 team...

The first white and blue one has to be my favourite.

Either of the last two for me. What the hell is a car company doing sponsoring bikes? The head of fiat marketting wants a slap.

most of those bikes were done for a mock up of what his new livery could be for this months performance bike mag. the xbox one looks ace

fiat are interested as hes obviously big in italy and rossis interetsed as it may get him a ride in a wrc fiat punto at the end of season and we all know fiat are closely linked with ferrari too

Don't Fiat co-own Ferrari? I know they own Juventus FC amongst other things, so acquiring Mr Rossi would be a great catch for them. Maybe people will start buying their cars again...

The bike is looking sweet as it is (similar to the great 2005 machine). If they do add a sponsor, they keep the changes to the design minimal like they did with Galousieseeseseses ?? (I can't spell it )
