Gentleman Thief

[roadkill]

I saw some strange bodywork on Jorge's bike at Suzuka and wondered what it was.....then I got an email from Yamaha Europe saying....



"GENTLEMAN THIEF" TO RACE WITH LORENZO IN MOTEGI
To celebrate the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi this Sunday, Jorge Lorenzo’s no. 48 Fiat Yamaha will race with an unusual and original livery. The Spanish rider’s YZR-M1 will carry the image of comic-book hero Arsenio Lupin III, the celebrated ‘Gentleman Thief’ made famous in the Japanese Manga series created by Kazuhiko Kato, or ‘Monkey Punch’.

The celebratory fairing is the creation of the team’s title sponsor Fiat and the image will also appear on a limited series of Fiat 500 cars, due in the second half of 2009.

Lorenzo’s M1 will be unveiled in Pit Lane of the Motegi circuit at 0930 Japanese time on Sunday, 28th September 2008.





Does anyone know who the hell is the Gentleman Thief is or have any pics of the bodywork.....looked cool as hell for the microsecond that it was shown prior to the race....wish I had a pic of it.....anyone out there with a pic or link to this?
