Some sensible thinking going on here... And the price I can get pro spray jobs done it would be daft not to have 2 sets...

Then again I have been looking at the red-bull paint job too... And Bayliss... and Hogson... where does it end!

i agree a well painted bike in any colour will NOT lower its VALUE just the no. who may want to buy it,my mates 748 is British racing green it looks well ard and always draws the crowds and i have NEVER herd anyone say it makes the bike look cheap!!!

its down to personal taste and how in with the fashion police you want to be

in my eyes a old paintjob wont sell as quickly or as expensively as a current model, my mate wanted me to spray my 748 in the mugello colours from this year. looked good but as it was only a one off race paint who would want to buy it on again. take the honda cbr6rr its been launched in the movistar colours 9 months after movistar quit motogp and now nobody wants it. if you want a race rep that will re sell it would have to be a infostrada scheme.

its difficult to resell and also insure a race rep as no company will cover your paintwork,in the event of a claim they will only pay out for replacement plastics
