I'm am playing with the possibility of putting a decal on my bike, however I dont want it to look trashy. I have seen bikes with decals and I had mixed reactions (like, "Thats kinda cool" to "Ugghh, thats just wrong"). I want to get other people's opinion. What do you think?
Thats right, we demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!

What kind of decal are we talking about? Like a full bike wrap from a latin american mobile phone company? Or something more like an A* sticker? lol
My bike is technically wrapped in a sticker, and it always gets mixed reactions. I love it, but I'll remove it someday. There's a fresh paint job under it!

I think it should be about what YOU like, not what anyone else does or doesn't.

Like Ricky said... if it works for you, enjoy it and do what you like.
I had the seat cowl wrapped this past winter on my Speed Triple. I love it... I'm sure others think it looks stupid, but who cares. My bike, my decisions.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

shoot... go for it. If you don't like it, take it off.

Stickers bad. If you put them on your bike then you are a bad person.
agreed..... doesnt stop me from shaking my head at things that look like they are actually being held together with decals, bumper stickers, etc....
i think if you are looking for a "public opinion" the key is moderation, IMO
for instance the triple above.... i dont think it matches color wise at all, but i respect the implication and that there isnt 20 of them all over the bike. but in the end, its yours, our opinion only counts if you trailer your bikes to the shows you enter them in... lol
I have a Yosh, Leo Vince and a Akro stick on, which one will make my bike look and perform better?

Some people like their bikes to look good for everyone else. I like my bike to look good to other people, but it's more important what it looks like to me.

its a gixxer...its already trashy
Just for the record, there's no such thing as a "gixxer." Suzuki makes a bike called the GSXR, but no company makes a "gixxer."
YOU'RE worried about LOOKING better.....get a damn haircut!
(Note: any comments about MY hairstyle will hurt my feelings and result in a prompt "barning")
Hey Rybo, did you know I've been listening to a lot of Steve Reich, Philip Glass and John Adams lately? You might really like their...style.

duly noted...
for anyone that was wondering what this "gixxer" I was referring to was, I meant GSXR. Sorry for any confusion.

Not true. All of the composers I listed have hair. I was just relating my current trend of listening to a person who enjoys good music. That's all.
I miss night court!
I love it when a bike has decals that don't match the equipment installed. One bike I bought last year had Dunlop stickers even though Dunlop didn't make a tire that fit it. It also had Mikuni stickers even though Honda used Keihin
