Check Out this Beautiful Alpine-Inspired Yamaha M1
If you’re a lover of new liveries, you’re likely to be a big fan of this one-off Alpine-inspired Pramac Yamaha MotoGP bike
The Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team will run a one-off livery during this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans as part of its sponsorship agreement with Alpine.
The special livery is, in our opinion, one of the coolest looking one-off colourways used in recent times in MotoGP, and if you’re also a fan of cars and racing like me, you will know where the styling cues come from.
The Alpine-inspired Yamaha M1 livery mimics that of the hypercar colours used by the French sports car manufacturer in the endurance championship and at the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.
With Alpine coming onboard as a major sponsor to the Pramac Yamaha team in 2025, as well as celebrating its 70-year anniversary, the collaboration on a one-off livery was something of a no-brainer.
Australian rider Jack Miller will have the privilege of throwing a leg over the new paint scheme during this weekend’s Grand Prix, as will teammate Miguel Oliveira who makes his return to action following an injury that kept him on the sidelines for the last three races.
Oliveira has previously been replaced by Yamaha’s new test rider for 2025, Augusto Fernandez.
Antonino Labate, VP of Alpine Sales, Marketing and Customer Experience, said: "Le Mans is the quintessence of French motor racing and holds a special place in Alpine's history. We wanted to create a unique livery for the French MotoGP Grand Prix that bridges the gap between our various motorsport commitments while celebrating our heritage. For the brand's 70th anniversary, we wanted this motorcycle, like our racing cars, to express our DNA of French elegance, audacity and performance.”
Joining the big Alpine ‘A’ logo on the side fairing are smaller versions on the front winglet and above the air vent, with the latter also including the brand’s years of existence.
