No, nothing like it!
It will still be red, it won't be sponsored by Fiat unless they are stupid (Ducati already announced AMG Merc partnership) and Monster is a personal sponsor of VR but sponsor the Tech3 team.

Would anyone pay $50-100 a ticket if this was the 2011 MAD bike built around a Desmo?
I know I would![]()

Makes sense for them with the whole Italian connection...
FIAT Motor Co.--->Italy--->Valentino--->Ducati--->FerrariF1--->FIAT Motor Co.
AMG is not as predominant as i expected....

Are you sure Orson? I can't see any FIAT logos anywhere in that photo.

That last photo really shows off the aerodynamic changes. The snub nose and (more) rounded tail really stand out as well as the extra cooling gills for 2011.

i wonder if we will see them come the first race, or if they will have been disposed of...
Marlen1 likes; pizza, carona and his snazzy blue leathers.

I knew if Rossi stuck to his yellow with Ducati it would look shite and it certainly does, sorry Rossi lovers, that is awful.
Nicky's bike on the other hand, noice.
At least that awesome 1000cc sound will be back and I bet the Duc sounds the best.
