Man, I'm really digging all of the retro bikes I've seen so far . . . except the JGR. Cool idea, not so sure about the execution. Maybe I just can't get over the font on the numbers?
Ugly bike... Yellow looks so much faster

The road runner!

I think Reedy's would look a little better with just an all white rear number plate, the blocking out the shape never looks great imo...

That green is fluoro as too! Might be hard for people at home to replicate the full look without flogreen sidepanels etc

The JGR bike looks better than their regular one by a mile!

I think it's really lame that ktm never gets into the retro theme. Honda usually does a great job I really hope the go 90s theme this year

I know its only a play on words but ....From the Factory Effex press release.....And of course Chad Reed always has vital input on how his bike looks on the track.

I didn't know Chad took all of our comments on his bike so seriously!! Laughing

BTW, def have to get a set of that fox retro gear to add to my collection (Daytona limited and 40yr anniversary). I loved the 90's ha ha.

I know but it'd be sweet to see the white and teal green out there

Is "so ready" just the same as plain old being ready?

haha... Cheers! I really like working on bike graphics, it's good fun. Enjoyed doing my bike but not sure about it as a business model down here... there are a few guys doing well but seems like it'd be hectic to start...

I think the twotwo graphic could be played with a bit... The purple in the yellow to blue, and the blue road runner smoke changed to purple...

OR go all blue, but I think that was more 92... and road runner was 94 right?

This is awesome! I was really hoping they'd do a splitfire bike but I knew it realistically wasn't going to happen because the sponsors wouldnt fit at all. My last 80 had these graphics so they're special to me. It's not a 90s theme but close enough.

KTM not doing anything is lame.

I'm really surprised KTM isn't doing anything, because really, it wouldn't be hard to make that thing look cool with their retro scheme, the JGR bike looks great cleaned up...
