Default Removing SV650S Decals from front fairing

My front and lower fairings are being resprayed and I was toying with the idea of not putting the SV650S Decals from front fairing back on.
Will this look...?

I had mine like that for a while after its respray but looks wrong... hard to explain why, possibly too big an area of flat paint. I know the tanks a bigger area of paint but it has lots angle and curves.
Stickers on i say.

I think it depends on your respray, the stickers seem fine and natural to me on the standard job. Might look a little bland, plus surely motorbikes and stickers go hand in hand?

Depends if your have some sort of colour scheme or more than one colour, if its just one colour it'll look too big and bland totally stickerless!! But you can also have too many stickers, it's a fine line!!

Ditto.

People have accused me of wanting to make my bike appear to be a 1000cc (or even just "not a Suzuki") when I removed mine.

IF I WANTED IT TO LOOK (SUPERFICIALLY) LIKE A THOU, I'D GET A TWIN CANs AND PUT SV1000S STICKERS ON IT!

I just like empty expanses without stickers or anything other than single colour paint on it. I'd have the "S"s on the tank off too if I easily could.
