Ok, so people like ‘tricking’ bikes up, be it purely for cosmetic or performance or both.
Bearing in mind the price of parts, this can run into many thousands of pounds very quickly.
So, potentially buy an SV for say £1500, spend say £2k on tricking it out with nice plastics, fancy exhaust, nice suspension wheels etc etc … bike is now worth say £1700-2k on a good day (sometimes diminishes value as it is too personalised) how can you justify that?
Also if you had/have £3.5k why didn’t you buy a ‘better’ bike in the first place??
I can see why some people might enjoy the customisation/personalisation (so you have the same mass produced can as 20,000 other ppl
) but how can you justify the expense surely KNOWING you are never realistically going to see anything but a fraction of that back??
I think expensive performance (power) mods make even less financial sense … why put a 700cc big bore kit and a full race system (what £2k all in?) on an SV650 for example? Where is the logic in that?
p.s. you do what you like with YOUR money, I am just curious that is all
