Jap bikes have had graphics as far back as I can remember. Maybe not tribal or graphiti, but there are still graphics on the bikes. Even factory Ducati has graphics:
Solid color bikes look off to me.
All of what is in this thread is 100% opinion and just because someone may have graphiti/tribal grapics on their bike does not mean anything as far as riders ability or performance. I’m sure Josh Hayes has a brand new one of these and no one would question his graphics.
FWIW, I just liked the color scheme of this bike and didn’t even really notice the “tribal” decals until it was mentioned.
