Yamaha last night revealed its colour scheme that it will run in the 2011 MotoGP World Championship season.

The team, which starts the season defending its third consecutive triple crown victory, fields a new rider in 2010 Rookie of the Year Ben Spies alongside the defending world champion Jorge Lorenzo.

The 2011 YZR-M1 features a Yamaha corporate blue colour scheme incorporating the iconic Yamaha speed block design.

Here’s a cool film from Yamaha that was shot during the official photo shoot with Lorenzo and Spies.
