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.  ;)

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?
