Default to upgrade, or not to upgrade?

do i sell boris II for boris III?

at the end of the summer my mate is selling a 2004 1000cc fireblade, it will have 10,000 miles on it and is mint, it has loads of extras. he is a bike mechanic and the bike is very well looked after

2004 blade £4500

harris cams (£1000)
full yoshi from japan (£1500)
PCIII (£300)
front and rear carbon huggers
seat cowl
stubby leavers
tail tidy
R&G bungs, fork protecters, cotten reals
will have brand new tyres (of my choice)

full spare race plastics

standad it should be 170bhp at the crank, but this is 175bhp at the rear wheel (50bhp up on boris II)

the only problem is, its red, and ugly it looks good from behind, and the front, but the side veiw just looks wrong, the crap fairing, and the 2 tone paint just look wrong






i have had boris II for nearly 2 years, and love it, im thinking its worth close to £4000 so would only cost £500-£800 to upgrade, then £200 to paint the race plastics (either HM plant colours, or some sort of yellow race rep)
