VERY unpopular opinion: ALTAs are an abomination, a sacrilege and shouldn't even have been created in the first place.

Is it an unpopular opinion? Most guys I know keep their older bikes original

Recent front fender and number plate doesn't look bad to me... it's just like a little boob job to get them firmer to fight with age. Bet not many of you dislike that.


However, yeah, the polisport CR restyle kit looks completely shite

Oh, and I never understood why you would paint/anodize an alloy frame/swingarm.
The worst being pseudo vintage CRAFs with red frames, no matter how well built they are.
And don't even get me started on the fork boots.

Not a fan of the fork boots at all

but the rest of that bike is fire

Here's an apparently unpopular opinion: think for yourself, style your bike in whatever way suits your eye, and try your best to refrain from believing your opinion, like your eye, is infallible and thus your tastes will - in fact MUST - guide everyone else's.

For the longest time, I thought the 90s era bikes were an absurdity in terms of style, all those eye-assaulting color combinations and vulgar patterns. I kinda still do, in fact, but the way some guys on here having lovingly re-styled their new bikes to embrace that older era is something I find really cool. You can tell they've acted upon a vision they had, and the purity of their vision-quest makes all the difference. You can just tell they love what they ended up getting, and the same is true for guys who took their older bikes and gave them a modernizing refresh. They committed to a unique vision, and I applaud them for it.

WE ARE MOTOCROSSERS, PEOPLE!!!! Stop trying to plant our collective flag atop the foul-smelling landfill mound that is conformity. It's an ill-fit.

You're absolutely right, but...
This kind of topic is just about messing around.

Agreed. Leave it stock or do a cycra stadium front plate. Although I’m guilty and did it to my YZ’s

I feel like the 02-14 YZ's are an exception to all of this if you're doing the entire restyle kit.
