Country stickers relate not only to the bike and not only to the rider, but in the relationship between the two. Therefore, if you sell the bike, the stickers are lost. If you buy a bike with stickers, they should be removed. Anything else would be a little disingenuous, in my opinion.
Which isn't to say I don't mourn the loss of the "Пиво, сиськи, рок-н-ролл" sticker the Russian bikers put on my last bike before I spoke Russian.
