Non-standard ruins any bikes value, no mystery there. It's just a closeout version of a mass produced bike, in a few years it's value will be totally condition dependent just like every other bike. So maybe just make exactly how you'd like it, lifes too short 'n all that.

sounds like you're suffering the same thing I had with it. Stonking engine, ok handling but it soon leaves you feeling indifferent. I'm guessing an off will have made you fall out with it a little bit (I fell out with my 650 for 2 months when I had my silly lowside).

If you're thinking of selling in the near or distant future, try to be as frugal as possible on the parts. You could go mental buying brand new everything, only to find that the resale price represents a fraction of all the parts you bought. If you're planning on keeping it to ride or to look at then like phil says it will probably be worth a little bit more in future as there weren't many of them in the first place.

Or you could sell it and buy an adventure bike?

to be honest dave returning it back to 100% standard is the way to go if you want to sell it. However its going to cost a small fortune to get that paint scheme anything like it should be when new. Anyone that sees it repainted in anything but is going to think its been crashed and wouldnt touch it unless it was really cheap! so your not going to get your money back for it either way i would have thourght.

Now you were thinking of getting shut last time i spoke to you (before the misshap) so i guess youve fallen more out of love with it. As your not going to get the ££ for it on resale unless you spend £££ i would say take it to a ditch near you and phone the insurance company up.... seems like the best way to get the most cash out of it?
