Back to standard and sell it,and buy what you want without pressure on the finances.After all you can only ride one bike at a time and it isn't like it is your only mode of transport,its a pleasure toy. You would have to keep it a long time for it to appreciate in value, mean while it is losing money and not being used.
Only my opinion but I would rather have a bike I really want and spend the extra money on that keeping it in mint condition,but using it and getting pleasure from it.

Next option....

Sell it and anything else you need to to get one of the new Kwak Z750R's

Take an 07 onwards Z750 like mine, swap the suspension in from a Z1000, swap the swingarm for a modified Z1000 one and put a slightly different front cowl on it

Hmmm speaking of Comedy Insurance Fraud, my Zed is now paid off and I have GAP cover...

Get a pikey to hide it in a canal!

Ok, back to standard, limited and all. Its like my VRap, rare as hens teeth, pretty much all of them modded to personal preference, then one will come along thats completely standard and is worth a lot more, XtraVRap even more so, being 1000 world wide and dropping.
As DT says, a pleasure toy, so why not spend a bit of brass getting it how it should be.

Dave

Patch it up with loads of scuffed panels and do lots of trackdays. Sell the SZ panels to pay for the track days.

The only thing Special about SZ's is the paint scheme. All black framed thou's ( K5+ ) got the engine / ecu / throttlebody mods. Even dealers are selling mint SZ's for under £3K now. You will not recoup the cost of minting it up.
