Im thinking of putting this decal kit on my black 749. should i leave it plain black or put the Breil decal kit similar to the pic below?

 

Ugh... it's up to you, your *** is on the bike. personally, I hate repliracers. unless they are factory, and then only after they become vintage.

agreed. and why is there a motorcycle on the coffee table? thats a big paperweight

 

I think it looks really cool but unless you actually use all that stuff sticker'd on there I wouldn't do it...it's kinda like putting m00gen stickers on a car with no m00gen parts.

and I kinda agree with Schu, but it does look awesome.

 

I love the replicaracer look. If it's your bike, make it look how you like it.

 

Repliracer=free advertising=***** of the advertising industry. I also try not to wear clothes with brand names on them though....

 

i like it. whether you have all the parts listed or not (well i guess it would be kinda wierd with pirelli stickers and michelin tires). id say keep it.

i see the stickers more like a paintjob. id do this to my bike in a heartbeat:




.02

looks like a build table in the middle of his livingroom... but i guess it might as well be a coffee table. haha

 

I would do it just for kicks and to be different. The whole advertising thing doesnt really bother me. How many people care what breil, fortuna, or even becks is anyway.

 

Haha this officer wants to make a heinken r6 i was like would really suck if you drop it.

 

is that bike from WA?

 

That 'advance / shell' sticker doesn't flow too well with the bike. I'd go with whatever you'd rather live with. I think it looks good with the decals, but I also think your bike looks great in clean fashion as well.

 

thanks for all the comments guys , im thinking of doing just the bottom part without the Shell advance. If it doesnt look good, i will just leave it plain ..

 

looks nice. if you like it, go for it

That's not all paint. "10 year vinyl" means sticker graphics. The green is probably the only custom painted part.

 

I'll huff and I'll puff...

Kind of hard to do.... whats the point of being plain and bleak like every other bike on the street. I happen to think cleanly done decals and no over done work looks very good. Crazy paint makes me puke, but a good decal kit on a bike is thumbs up in my book.

The first chance I get to make my bike look like something other than factory... im in. wish i knew where to get a quality kit though

 

Let's put it this way. You like Dale Earnhardt Jr. So you go and decorate your Chevy with a custom paint/vinyl scheme to look just like his Nextel Cup car.

Would you look cool? No. You'd look like a retard, and anyone who wasn't a Dale Jr. fan would point and laugh.

So why is it any cooler on a bike? When it's on a car, it's ricey. When it's on a bike, it's cool? I don't think so.

I know you may want to do it to look distinctive - but you ride a black Ducati duperbike, which is already a very distinctive machine. If you really want to stand out, get some red wheel accents or some Dainese leathers.

 

I say do it. PS that becks Mille is hawt.

But, but...how about that kid on dcsb that has the MovieStar rr replica? I think it looks hot, not retarded.
And someone posted up the SevenStars decaled bike too, and I think that looks hot as well.
I think it's a double-standard, but that's me.

The Movistar bike is green blue and yellow. How is that not ghastly-looking?

Racebikes are designed to maximise advertising dollars, that is all. Not to actually look good. Unless you're being paid to ride it, why rock it?

(movistar, rossi's old m1 practice bike, duhamel's ? r1)

 

If it's really simple, it can look ok. But...I just can't dig all the freaking logos.
