This would be more minimal...

There's just loads of strokes and sections in Chad's graphics... necessity with the sponsors I guess but thought the bike looked a little better last year...

And I do like more white on the team bike...

That's the best pic I've seen of Shorts bike and its far better than the original that I saw on Thursday. I think it could be improved with grey grips and fork guards if they're going for the 80's look.

I think the 22 looked better the prior two years. My favorite Honda so far this year is the factory bike, minus the chocolate milk fork guards....wtf?

Comparing the two, definitely prefer Barcia's bike. Looks cleaner.
Hard to imagine anyone not liking those 80's works bikes, but then again, just goes to show you peoples tastes differ. Another one for me is that last YZM500 piano. Oh, what could have been if they'd pushed through into production with it.

Shorts bike would look 1000x better with red side panels and rear fender...

It currently looks unfinished purely because of the red vinyl on white background.

Don't get me wrong, it looks good already, but if they are playing the "Honda from the 80's" card as a full time look they should perfect it at least

The full quote goes like this...

"There’s been talk of putting the #29 Honda rider under the Chad Reed TwoTwo team (Reed himself didn’t confirm or deny that these talks have happened), and one source said he wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew ended up on a KTM as a teammate for Ryan Dungey. Yes, there are that many different theories going around! We’ll have to wait and see what happens from here, but there’s no doubt trouble with the team, and that’s never a good thing for the sport and for a rider the caliber of Short."

Looks like a miss match to me. If it had the good old "flash red" plastics it would be tits.
Either way it's going to look great under the lights tonight! I hope Short has a good year and LB keeps his hands off him.

My vote is for FUGLY. I don't get into retro, it's not cool to me, it's just old. I like when teams innovate and push the limits, not use ugly retreads like the Chapparal design above. It might be popular for the +40 crowd, but this is a young man's sport. I say thumbs down. Go back to the drawing board Larry Brooks and Co.! Last year your bike was ugly and this year it's worse.

I love that bike! Took me back to 1985 86 Honda ATC 250R. I loved three wheelers when I was a kid. I eventually grew up and got into motocross!

As badass as that looks I never been a fan of the predominately white Hondas, I don't know but it looks to christmassy or something.... Grinning
but then again I don't mind duct tape on my riding gear and have been known to wear bib overalls in public so...... Whistling
