Meh, pretty plain and boring if you ask me. Reminds me of the smart top bikes which look super bland. Not sayin this is the answer, but I'd prefer watching either of my 10 minute renditions rip around the track.

Here is my amazingly done rendering of what it should look like.

LOL

Also - I'm available to do custom graphics just like you see above for anyone. My fees are reasonable.
I like your idea, I would just put a black stripe between the two yellow parts..

Here is my render:

Geico bikes looked basically the same for quite some time. It was time for a change. I like it. Thumbs aloft!

I think it's fantastic. Remember, in the world of graphic design, the simpler, the better. I used to work as a billboard painter, and we could always tell the size/prestige of the advertising company that designed the board we were painting; the fewer the words, the bigger/better the ad company. What I see here, plain as day, is that Geico decided to stop their amateurish approach and "turn pro." And by the way, the worst logo in the sport? - Factory Connection, by far. The best? - a tie between Red Bull and Fox.
You were a sign painter? That’s incredible. Union or non?

One of the best looking Geico Honda bikes that i have ever seen. I have never been a fan of the look of the bikes they have had through the years but this looks really good!

I like it. I think it harks back to late 90's/ early 00's in terms of simpler looking graphics. The only thing I would be tempted to do is make the fuel tank black.

It's literally just logo's slapped on there and the majority like it better than all the bikes with actual designs on them. Sad state if you're a MX graphics designer.

It's terrible that a graphic company would blatantly copy another company's design, throw their logo on it, and then sell it like it is their own. Way to go Red Label

You are kidding, right?

Have you seen some of the 'designs' in the last few years?! Most of them now consist of logos just slapped around - a visual puke fest.

Geico (thankfully) seem to be following the K.I.S.S rule - Keep It Simple Stupid.

Sorry, I read your post wrongly. I read it as designers know best and people who like plain graphics are simpletons.

I think the bikes look sick, really dig the new geico logo in white. The only thing i found a bit odd when i saw he new graphics was this, no sponsors on the rear fender? Just a Yoshimura/geico logo. Is it like this purely because they are finalising sponsors for the 2019 season and they needed something now for the photoshoot possibly?

I think it looks BA. Clean and a little retro.
