Default Bike swap dilemma!

Hi everyone.

Over the last year I have treated my 04 SV650 to new everything....

-Fairings (burnt orange)
-GSXR 750 K3 front end
-All balls bearings all round
-SV1000 Brakes
-Braided Lines
-GSXR 1000 K4 Rear Shock
-New leather seat covers
-New reg/rec

All I have left to do is mount up the speedo and paint the front wheel and the bike is 100%. Its got 18,000 miles on it, but has been far from fun owning it as the reg/rec caused me a lot of grief pushing it for 2 miles home, and then later being vandalised in the street.

As I said the bike in its current state has been almost completely refurbished and looks incredible.

However, I recently bought a 2015 ER6f Cat D write off, 9,000 miles and some small fairing damage for an absolute steal! With a new back tyre, both keys, all the paperwork and kawasaki manual.

And now I'm not sure which to keep.

One is modified to a better spec, but in my eyes is still 14 years old and therefore less reliable with smaller resale value.

The other is only 2 year old and needs around £200 of parts to set back to standard.

I'd be greatful of your opinions.
