How to choose motorcycle graphics in 2025

Motorcycle graphics are almost all the same now, but the approach to them is different!

I really love the graphics and I literally change them once a year, not because they’ve gotten worse, but because I want something new.



Template for bike
Nowadays, most companies use the same materials and templates. The times when companies created their own graphic templates are long gone.
The thing is that today there are so many different bikes that no one has time to make templates for everyone. therefore it has become easier for everyone to turn to companies that do not make graphics but only make templates.

Of course there are companies that make graphics and do not use good templates, it is really better to avoid them, we all know that we can see what we buy and if we have no experience with installation, it will be difficult to understand how good the template is, but for new motorcycles it is extremely difficult to find a bad template now.
And I can say that 90% of all companies use the same templates for graphics and therefore if you ask for photos and make sure that they fit well, you have done half the job in choosing your new graphics.

I would like to add that sometimes there are different templates for the same bike, in a good sense of the word, and here we will talk about the coating of the plastic, about how little plastic will remain uncoated.
This is especially true for bikes with complex shapes, as we all know we buy flat stickers and stick them on our bikes which often have a lot of fancy shapes on which it is difficult to apply flat graphics. And this is where manufacturers decide to cover more plastic or put a bunch of cutouts so that it is easy to install.
Personally, I am always in favor of the plastic being covered more heavily, graphic installers like a lot of cutouts to get a lot of money and spend little time. and that is our compromise, what we choose is easy to install or looks good, because I don’t really like a lot of seams, I shave off more coverage.


Materials

All the companies I know and have dealt with use excellent materials — all of them used Substance. It’s an outstanding material made in the USA, specifically developed for motocross and harsh usage conditions. But again, that’s something all good companies do. I’m not denying that somewhere on AliExpress someone might have decent graphics — yes, that happens. But the key issue for us is the quality of the adhesive. It’s usually the main factor that determines whether the graphics will last long.

Quality glue is one of the keys to success in choosing graphics, but as I said now almost all good ones use them, for example such companies as skda, Kutvek, W-ink Graphics and others..
They all use the material “Substance” it is very nice that their glue has special air channels built in that allow you to install graphics without bubbles even if you are not an installation expert, which is very important for us inexperienced users. If you tried to install graphics with and without air channels, you would immediately understand the difference



Subtotal
As I said, most manufacturers use excellent templates and materials and the choice is only in price. Many offer free personalization so we can add our sponsors logo, your name and number. But this is where we can see the main difference in the “approach”.

I have often encountered and read different reviews, most companies do not want to do anything, they made a graphics and behave as if buy what is there and leave… Communication with them looks like you are writing to a girl who is indifferent to you. You wrote a message with a question or a wish and wait for them to answer… But we all know that this is not quite what we want.

It was the interaction with the company’s design team that turned out to be the most valuable and missing commodity in the motorcycle graphics market in 2025. Everyone has cool templates, cool materials, anyone and you can find both on the Internet without problems (if you want, of course) But getting quick and pleasant answers to your questions from the company is very difficult in most cases
We are all fed up with graphics with some cool logos, imagining ourselves as that cool racer, but when the question arises about getting exactly what you want, most companies step aside, marketing has turned our joy into a business.

And that’s why I decided to write this article about my experience, I’ll attach here photos of my graphics, or rather all the ones I already had, and I really love each of them because each of them was created for the first time, for me every time I was the first one to have such a design.I also want to say thank you to W-ink Graphics for their pleasant connection, as if I were communicating with a person one on one, not separated by monitors, thanks to the people who listen and hear what I say and understand me as if they are my hands to create my graphics the way I want, the way I feel. If you choose graphics, write to them, try this to understand what I’m talking about



End
This is the first post I’m making here. So don’t judge me too harshly. I’ll sum it up 
1. Choose a brand that uses good material, no company is shy about naming what materials they use. 
2. Look at live photos of how the stickers look on the bike, even if it’s not your design, you just have to understand what kind of coating it will be. (You can always get this from the company you contacted)
3. Pay attention to how often you are answered and how templated the messages are, and if this is bad, imagine what awaits you if problems suddenly arise, communicate with those who communicate with you. And you can find out this by asking a couple of questions on points 1 and 2. 

Naturally, the price is an important factor, but this is so obvious that I did not pay attention to it

Yes, I’ve been watching anime a lot lately) and I didn’t miss the opportunity to add some pretty anime girls to my bike Tenere 700 on graphics kit)
