i dont think this is a question you should be asking. You should personalize your bike to how you like it and you should not have to worry about trying to please others or worry if other people wont like it. :)

Maybe it was just the 70's/ maybe it was just me but  .. yeah a but.

 in 74 on the way to school we mused on the new bikes arriving on scene and what the hell did this new RM look like.
 all the bikes were designed for function over form
 if it worked and it was trick it was on that bike.

 the latest  lot of bikes all seem the same or perhaps thats just my uneducated of which which I oppoligise for  but sheesh. a first run RM or CR looks hell sexier to me that the 09 cr be it as good as she be .

Poop. .... no edit that to..... Caps stay away for that Red Bull drink stuff! All that guano*  in it may be having some side effects on your normally discreet mild person.   :D
 * Why have all these "energy " drinks got sea bird turds in them????

Good god Caps, give yourself an uppercut and get rid of those tyres red right now, you hear ? :o

is there anything in the regs to stop you using colored tyres at a VMX meeting....there should be.

Why half do a job Caps. Needs red grips, mirror polished triple clamps and engine covers, no where near enough stickers either I can still see cycle parts,then some tats to match the stickers ::)

This is a classic example of why cheap'n'nasty Ebay bling, youthful enthusiasm and extreme bad taste are a bad, bad combination.

Pleas, for the love of good taste, and for the Hondas reputation, please, please debling bike before you hit the track with it. I'll lend you my tyre irons and hot air gun if you like. It's sort of like a Compton Cadillac right now. (our california friends will understand that one).

it does NOT do it for me Caps, but then its your bike, not mine.

if it didn't have Honda on the seat i wouldn't know what it was as they all look the same to me once the graphics are changed these days.
I never can understand why everyone who races moderns have to change the graphics as a priority these days? i bet OEM graphics will be a collectible thing in years to come!

its a personal thing.  Hope your season goes well and you move up to A grade mate! ENJOY

Caps,

The '78 / '79 CR250RZ was probably the best looking MX bike of all time. You need to capture some of the essence of the RZ by painting your engine red.  ;)

hoony the only reason i did the graphic was so i could keep the stock ones for when i sell it id prefer to scratch up this kit than the originals

Each to there own . The owner thinks it's shit hot and that's what counts in there eyes

Im 17 and this is the bike that is on the market NOW!!! and i like it i would get on it and ride it till i couldnt no more but i also love my "73 GT80" and my "81 CR125" heck i eve liked the look of my "79 XL250" for a bit haha but its each to their own i bet back in the day of racing there was tricky looking things you could buy for bikes and you older guys not saying you did but maybe had them on your bike and your parents probably thought what the hell is that for??? so its the same thing just through different time periods maybe not as extravigant as caps bike  :D but still its a incredible bike and i'd own it any day  ;) good job on a nice bike man  :) Tom

It's your gig Caps, ride it and enjoy it. I think you were asking for it by putting such an out there bike up before the old vintage hounds on this forum. I may be a little apart from the modern scene these days but are blinged up bikes like yours a common thing at race meets today? Are psychodelic drugs as popular with you young racers as your bike suggests?
