FIRST PICTURES: Kawasaki's 2008 livery.
The livery appeared during the opening day of testing at Phillip Island, in Australia, on Wednesday - when new signing John Hopkins also rode with green-and-black leathers for the first time.
Hopkins and Anthony West finished the first day of testing 12th and 13th on the timesheets.
Kawasaki hopes that Monster Energy will make the step up to title sponsor in 2009.
