The Motorcycle That Still Had Its Original Dealer Sticker

Most motorcycles lose little pieces of their history over the years.

Old tax discs disappear. Number plates get replaced. Toolkits go missing. Stickers fade away.

That's why it's always interesting when an imported motorcycle still carries the name of the dealer that sold it decades ago.

A small sticker on a mudguard, toolbox or rear fender can reveal where the bike started its life and sometimes how far it travelled before reaching the UK.

They're tiny details, but they help tell the story of a motorcycle's journey through time.

Some enthusiasts remove them during restoration.

Others see them as part of the bike's history and preserve them wherever possible.

What would you do — keep the original dealer sticker or remove it during restoration?
