    I love em, have one, plan to get others. Some just look good, some have meaning to the owners, some of the owners are just posers.

    I've always wanted a Lucky Strike RGV250 since I saw one in Pacific motorcycles when I was 16... now have one. Also have a hard on for the Rothmans Hondas, after seeing the RC30s, also as an impressionable spotty youth. Will have one of those too, although will more likely be an NC35. Finally, the Marlboro Yamahas, definitely will sort myself out one of those, an Abe replica to honour a great rider who'll always be missed RIP.

    They were just the GP bike paint jobs when I was younger, so always have had a soft spot for them. Tobacco sponsorship FTMFW I say.

    Like some others have said, there are good ones and bad ones. My personal favourite is the Rossi/Nastro Azzuro CBR600F4i. Over in the UK at the moment, where rep paint jobs are common as muck, ranging from real works of art down to a surprising number of tatty black Fireblades with HM Plant graphics.... Classy. Even saw an Anstey/Donald replica Hayabusa at the TT.

    If only some stickers from eBay could make my bike look like the real thing. But it's very far form the real thing.

    I love these pictures from the Ducati museum.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    While I think the race bikes look awesome with all the stickers and ads on them, I probably wouldn't want to display the logo of so many different companies without getting paid some money for it... If you know what I mean.

    OAB and imdying's Lucky Strike bikes are really nice looking. I wouldn't want one myself since I don't smoke though
    Now if I could get a race bike in Microprose or Fender livery - then we're talking

    But if we're just talking 'regular' SPs and such - I would have to say I do love my mean greenie Nothing wrong with performance bikes IMHO. As such the poll lacks the 'What are you on about - I have one!'
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
