I know some people on here do not like rim tape but i am considering getting some for my 2002 Honda NSR 125,

I was thinking Red or Silver

The bike is Black/Silver


Thanks

I have red rim tape and I think it really adds alot to the bike.
I know mines a 600, but the sameish colour scheme so might help.
Easy to fit, each wheel has 8 pieces, 4 quarters for each side.

Mate i have a NSR 125 R in the black colour too! You have to get the Silver/Grey coloured one It fits the whole spec of the bike toa "T". My personal point of view is that there is no red on the bike at all so it will just look way out of place.

Sorry but i dont have any pics yet of it coz the weather has been afuly crap to take any! But you should trust me on this one the silver/grey tape you should get.

Ditto. I reckon the only colour that will look good is the colour that is on the bike, but is in the minority compared to the base colour. Thumbs Up

Go for a blue set i would say, failing that i would get red ones.

I think blue would suit the colour of your bike better

I wouldnt put rim tape on it, but i'd deffo use a tyre pen on the side walls, it would look nicer than tape on a black bike.
