Which graphics for the new bikes?

[cave weta]

A wise old man called Mike Ramsey said to me the other day.

"Stu-keep it simple. Ive sold more dirt bikes than most people.
Just dont give 'em too many choices"

So Im hoping you can help me keep this simple.

1-Red or Silver?

2-and should both models have the same graphics or do I identify the
230f- PRO with snazzier decals?

Ive had www.workshopgraphics.co.nz look at the two new Forza 230f s
and he has sent me these two.

option number 2 for for me.

I think I sat on one of these at the field days this year they seemed ok for what you pay.

Whats the maintenance like on these and parts like air filters etc are readily avaliable?............Thinking be great bike for the mrs

Option 2 as well, you need that little bit of colour. If you can provide a simple differentiation between the base line model and the flash one then do it but if it's much more than a "230F-Pro" sticker I wouldn't do it.

How about having accessory decal kits you can sell to buyers to let them customise their new bike, gives them choice and adds value for you?

The first shipment of bikes came with few spares- just the usual consumables like brake pads, plastics and filters. More spare parts arrive in the next shipment in 3 weeks. The air filter is a dual density oiled foam- just like it should be.
go here for detail- pants down photos of the bikes. (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/140344-Forza-230f-here-in-NZ-dirtbikes-for-the-common-man/page2)
The bikes are built to the same standard as any comparable Honda Yamaha or Suzuki. Initial price and parts are both WAY CHEAPER.

I would not have got involved with them until I saw them in the flesh and rode and tested them. The Importers are NZ resident for 8 years -nice guys.

I highly recommend one for your wife.

[vr4king]

Agreed looks a little tarded

well printed and applied STU the "F" on the mockup is a wrong... the cross bit isnt black therefor could look like an "r" if you'd had a dozen bruskies :).

Attached is where we are at after a couple of changes... this will give you a better idea.

Both colours, you need a difference for bikes ridden on uneven number days to bikes ridden on the odd.




I'm not sure how long the plastics would last in the hands of an old mate of mine he wouldn't take is newish yamaha through an overgrown gorse track but he would/does his Chinese "shitta" as he calls it. He sort of grades bikes on their worth, in doing so it affects how he uses them and worse, maintains them. So if plastic is hanging from thistles or gorse then that's where it stays, graphics or no graphics.
I'm not sure that "grading" bikes disposable is all that uncommon.
