Yamaha officially unveiled its 2008 YZR-M1 MotoGP machine at title sponsor Fiat's home town of Turin, in Italy, on Friday. This has been a sort of ceremony like F1 drivers, Yamaha Fiat riders take their hair a short cut.

No major changes have been made and reintroduced against last year's color, except the riders' hair style, and their new crew to empower the team like these picture from crash.net.

The new bike looks so narrow youd think it was a 250, not an in-line four.

Love the new hair cuts. Vale looks a bit more purposeful now that he knows what he's up against, no more poncing around like a rock star.

I think Vale will be more head down and ass up this year for sure. I think he will still enjoy his little victory celebrations though.
