Those purple wheels truly made the bike sing with Stars bikes.

I agree! I haven't liked anodized purple since the 90's with Polaris snowmobiles. Those wheels made the bike look 10x better than the plain black ones. Gonna be a lot of guys getting custom purple wheels to match that theme.

my hacky attempt in Gimp. Maybe pink would look better but that was a lot of work just to get the black replaced with purple.

MX101 for the cleanness of the bike...Star for the whole ensemble.

That's what I was going to say. The THOR gear reminds me of a young Jeff Emig.

I think the purple rims took the Star bikes over the top.  The one thing that should have been changed to tie up the whole package.....1005298.png?VersionId=P

I voted Star. 101 a close 2nd. I don't even mind the green M claw, so that wasn't an issue for me. I thought the overall bike just looked awesome. 101 had a nice, clean look that really resembled the 93, so that was cool. And I'm a big fan of the stock, white '24s too. Debating if I want to grab a '24 or not. If I do, I'll get the white. Hopefully a lot of parts swap over.

MX101 was more 'correct' for the period with silver rims and no monster logos etc, but for me the MXGP bike wins best looks hands down.

Star bikes with monster and purple rims just didn't work for me, it's retro but not a 93 replica as they never had purple rims

I'm going with MX101 The silver rims bring the whole 93 style and the FXR gear looks more 1990+ AXOish

I am little bit surprised Monster and RedBull don't like to play with their color themes yet. They are super established now, much more than let us say a decade ago, it is an oligopoly now, so I guess we may see more graphic freedom in the future, as it can also promote some flavors / new products. It could be cool and very classy.

Agree.  And it's not like Monster doesn't have different colored claws on their cans for different products

Can someone photoshop the purple wheels on the MX101 bike?

Just a quick photoshop but I think the purple wheels look good on the Star bikes because there is more black incorporated. The silver wheels were the right choice for this setup IMO, especially if it's meant to be a throwback look.

Thanks.

I don't mind the purple but I prefer the silver wheels for a throwback theme.

Star bikes to answer the poll.
I like the Yellow Yamahas the best, wish they would go back.

Star nailed it, the Purple rims are perfect. 

Monster Energy is carrying MX/SX, without them we are screwed so I don't mind the logo(s). They earn it.

Shut up, Bobby.
