The new Honda RCV1000R and former World Champions Nicky Hayden and Hiroshi Aoyama are the new lineup, which will begin preseason testing shortly. The new team colours will be the green, silver and black of DRIVE M7.
The DRIVE M7 brand has a long history of sporting collaboration, in disciplines such as Formula V6, Drift, Japan GT300 and GT500. The move to MotoGP as main sponsor of the Aspar Team –soon to be named DRIVE M7 Aspar Team- is another step forward for the company. M7 a company renowned for its production of some of the best international car performance products. DRIVE M7 is scientifically formulated and tested to provide maximum power and endurance to its consumers.

Flying the flagship colours



Malaysia Airlines’ flagship, the A380, is the pride of many especially the staff of the national carrier.

The group of bike enthusiasts consist of members of Malaysia Airlines staff who have painted their own motorbikes identical to the airlines’ A380 livery to reflect the loyalty and spirit for the company.

Aptly named MH Bikers, they have set an objective of promoting Malaysia Airlines’ A380 and branding on the road as well as supporting other company initiatives, whilst indulging in their hobby.

This event will mark the first, where the newly painted bikes will be photographed with the A380. Malaysia Airlines Group CEO, Ahmad Jauhari being a biker himself, joined the special photo shoot.
