Now this is how a bike livery should look...

VALENTINO ROSSI is used to pulling out some visual treats for his beloved home Italian MotoGP round at Mugello and for 2019 he is expressing his patriotism through his VR46 Moto2 outfit.

We’re already big fans of the moody-looking blue and black Sky Italia-emblazoned Kalex but this weekend’s special livery to dazzle the tifosi will see Luca Marini’s machine decked out in the green, white and red tricolore of Italy’s colours… and it looks magnificent.

Kawasaki may mean Team Green in motorbike racing terms, but this makes us wonder how a ZX-10RR could look. Just saying…
