The 2024 MotoGP season kicks off in Qatar this weekend, so we’re taking a quick break from our regular programming for our annual critique of this year’s MotoGP race bike liveries.
MotoGP is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, producing race bikes with mind-boggling levels of engineering. As much as we love custom bikes and classics here at Bike EXIF, we can just as easily spend hours poring over the details of a well-tuned racing machine.

Engineering only tells part of the story though. Once a race bike is built, it’s up to the team’s designers to make it look good?while keeping the team’s sponsors happy. A good MotoGP livery is arresting and memorable, and should look just as good going 200-plus miles per hour as it does parked in the winner’s circle. We’ve ranked this year’s MotoGP race bike liveries from worst to best, including only teams that run a single livery for both riders (sorry, LCR Honda). This year’s crop has hits and misses in equal measure?so take a look, and sound off in the comments if you disagree.

10. Trackhouse Racing Trackhouse Racing is the only organization in the world to own both a NASCAR and a MotoGP team, and they want you to know it. When they took over the defunct CryptoDATA RNF team at the end of last year, they broke the news with a pair of Stars and Stripes-themed Aprilia race bikes. At the time, I assumed they were trolling us?but, as it turns out, they weren’t.
