Honda presents its 2015 MotoGP bike

Honda presented its 2015 MotoGP bike in a launch event in Bali on Sunday ahead of the start of pre-season testing next week.

World champion Marc Marquez and teammate Dani Pedrosa unveiled a slightly revised look for the title-holding team, with Red Bull increasing its presence in the Honda livery. Repsol remains as title backer for a 20th year.

Honda has won the teams' and constructors' titles, as well as taking Marquez to the riders' crown, for the past two seasons. Its 2015 bike has been testing since last summer.

"It's been a long and busy winter break and now I'm really looking forward to starting the season," said Marquez. "It's great to be able to present our new bikes in Indonesia, it's such a beautiful backdrop.

"It's my first time here in Bali and it's wonderful to see all the fans here and feel their enthusiasm for MotoGP.

"Tomorrow we leave for Malaysia, I've trained a lot during last month to prepare myself for these first two tests in Sepang and I'm excited to be with my crew again and see how the new bike is working after Valencia test."

The first official test takes place at Sepang from Wednesday to Friday in the coming week, followed by a day of Michelin tire development for 2016 when only test riders are allowed to participate.
