hawk graphics, what do you think?

China is planning to add graphics to our bikes, looking for feedback. Personally, I think the Hawk has too much yellow, and I think some people (at least with Black) are going to want solid colors.

Tacky but I'm an older dude and I know our opinion doesn't mean much.

I'm inclined to agree, that's why I'm asking for feedback. China recognizes that some people want graphics, but that doesn't mean these are the graphics they want. I'm sure other people will still want solid colors... of course, they can always peel the stickers off but that's a hassle.

Most of us here are older. I don't like those graphics and would pull them off.

A image of a dude riding a motorcycle on my motorcycle is a little odd.

[pistolclass]

Is that an upgraded front disk I see?

My personal opinion is those specific graphics make it look extremely cheap. We all know that they are cheap, but these advertise cheap for people that didnt know any better. They look like stickers that would be on a childs ride on toy. lol

The first mod on my Hawk was removing the stickers

Not a fan of the graphics shown. I prefer solid color bikes.I'm 40 years old,and not really into the racy looking graphics.I like low key looks.

I'm also surprised by how many older people are buying these bikes.

Do not like. The graphics need to come in the box just like the other assembly parts.

Jayman and pistol are correct .

Graphhics are good if tastefully done

The black and red side panels in the photoshop image of the Hawk do look good though and I mean that in a good way.

The graphics should match the bike and those remind me of the 90's motocross bikes when fuchsia, yellow and many other colors were over used.

Like I said, I'm inclined to agree, I think these graphics look bad. If they do add graphics, does anyone have an idea what might look good? I am definitely going to tell them to keep sending solid color bikes, as some people don't want any graphics.

Same here. I'm a Tacky old dude lol. Makes it look cheap. Like a bad leisure suit. Now I'm telling my age. Mono color but maybe just different graphic than whats on the Hawk now. Include both with the unit and let the buyer decide. To be honest graphics aren't that important. What these bikes should come with is at least a 45 tooth rear sprocket, digital cluster with tach, and an o-ring chain.

Isn't it funny (or pathetic) how manufacturers will spend money on stuff like this but won't spend money to fix the most glaring faults on the machines. In the case of the Hawk, this means a better quality chain, and better swing arm bushings. Don't think only the Chinese do this. I recall two of my friends at GM complaining about the stylists wanting to add two more tail lights, and engineering wanting indium-bronze lined con-rod bearings. The stylists won.
