Ah but what price for quality? Something is only worth what someone will pay.

Hard to tell in the pic but it looks like the rear centre piece has been sprayed? Usually it's grey. So if that bit's been sprayed, maybe the rest has. It could be OEM blue or it could be a similiar respray.

Here's another couple of pics. I think that it has been resprayed. Also if you look at the fork legs, they still look in very good condition that's why I thought it must be a genuine bike.

Or genuine low mileage forks bolted on as a replacement???

Yeah the centre tail section has been sprayed blue to match the the rest of the bike (well half of it) as Northwind says, I would say the blue is genuine OEM colours but maybe the panels have been resprayed as they look in great condition (no sun fade). The hugger is a Suzuki one. As for the yellow that looks like the later OEM yellow, Pearl Lively Yellow I think. The lower fairings are the crappy powerbronze ones but other than that if the bike is genuine it was a good buy.
