Yamaha and Pramac have revealed their 2025 MotoGP bikes to the public for the first time at a joint event in Malaysia on Friday.
Following the opening day of running in the Sepang shakedown test, Yamaha and its new satellite partner Pramac showcased their definitive race liveries at the W Hotel in Kuala Lumpur - with the iconic Petronas Towers serving as the backdrop.
The Yamaha team revealed a largely unchanged black-and-blue colour scheme for its factory M1s, having stuck to the design ever since Monster Energy replaced Movistar as its title sponsor in 2019.
Pramac's livery, however, has gone through a major overhaul, as it incorporates the colours of new partner Alpine with existing title sponsor Prima.
The change in livery also follows the Italian-flagged team ending a two-decade relationship with Ducati to join forces with Yamaha.
The partnership is a major boost for the Japanese manufacturer, which has been competing without a satellite team since the defection of RNF Racing (now Trackhouse) to Aprilia in 2023.
An expansion to four bikes was a prerequisite for 2021 champion Fabio Quartararo agreeing a new contract with Yamaha in MotoGP. Quartararo will again be joined at the factory team by Alex Rins after the Spaniard inked a new two-year deal last August.
Yamaha will provide the same equipment as the factory team to Pramac, and has also directly signed its riders Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller to its works roster.
Pramac is considered to be crucial in Yamaha's ascent to the front of the grid after years of underperformance and lack of results.
In 2024, it finished fourth in the manufacturers' standings, only ahead of Honda, after failing to finish inside the top five in a grand prix.
It was also its second consecutive winless season in the premier class.
Pramac, on the other hand, enjoyed immense success with Ducati in recent years, winning the teams' title in 2023 and powering Jorge Martin to the riders' championship last season.
