In racing the promotional value of stickers seems to be waning. Hence, we look at some classic examples from days gone by. Here: Honda's Spa victory decal from July 4, 1982 when Freddie Spencer became the youngest-ever 500cc race winner.

While Eddie Lawson and Yamaha won the 500cc (MotoGP) title in 1984, Honda won the constructor's title. This decal commemorates that. (Thanks, Erv Kanemoto)

Wayne Gardener's Rothman's sponsored NSR500 is represented on this early 1990s decal. (Thanks, Erv Kanemoto)

Eddie Lawson on his Kanemoto Honda NSR500 in 1989. (Thanks, Erv Kanemoto)

The late Jack Findlay's decal. He is the subject of a song 'Blues for Findlay' on the early '70s 'Continental Circus' album. Often confused with Dutch rider Jack Middelburg, Findlay went on to become Grand Prix's Technical Director.

The only one we've ever seen: A decal from Wayne Rainey's 1984 250 season in Europe.

As they made so few, almost any Kawasaki racing decal is rare: here, Kawasaki USA's 1993 decal celebrating Russell's WSBK title.

An early Ago Yamaha decal. (Thanks Danny Coe)

In the 1970s the AMA used tech produced stickers with a Mickey Mouse likeness on them. Camel, when they supported the series, did the same with the humped animal. (Thanks, Merrill Vanderslice)

A 1983 decal celebrating Honda winning both Superbike and Supercross at Daytona. (Thanks, Bobby Weindorf)

Top row: 1970s rider decals as sold in the paddock. Bottom row: decals from the year no one got paid but everybody got their own sticker.

In the early 1970s the Daytona 200 was part of the F-750 based 'AGV World Cup'. (Thanks, Don Emde)
