why does Pedrobot have a different swingarm to other Honda's?

I kinda like Kallio's paint job  waytogo ...Barbera's is hideous  vomit It'll be easy to tell who they are during a race though.

The Honda and the Suzuki both look chunky to me. The new Duc tail is odd...can't decide if I like it.

Probably the difference between the factory and satellite machines... and who knows after the poor showings they may swap /shrug.  Barbera runs a different swingarm on his duc and Kallio runs the same one as Stoner.  Probably the carbon/aluminum difference there.

I also like Padrosa's child booster seat.

That Suzuki tank!?!  If Capi isn't circumcised, he will be the first time he slams on the binders going into T1.

Are you talking about just the sliders or did you not look at the Ducs?

He's talking Ohlins.

Nice pics, and the duc swingarm does look like cf

I think most of the bikes look even more compact and brick like than last year.  A lot of the fairings have very little slope to them.

Sounds like Suzuki's entire R&D approach to MotoGP Grin Wouldn't expect that from Honda.

Maybe I don't have such a refined eye yet, but I don't really find Babera's bike all that hideous, I think it's pretty sick.  Is it really all that different than Rossi's bike from Camel Yamaha?  Is it the yellow noone's really a fan of?  I can see how the rainbow numbers could be seen as a poor choice . . . please someone enlighten me.
