Greetings,
My zxr was dropped by its previous owner, its scratched, has cracks and its got some sort of ugly rust protectant everywhere that looks like its been applied with a broom in the snow.
I have got the engine and electrics working mint, and a KB member has offered to do the plastic welding and maybe paint it for me.
So i am trying to figure out the best option for resale. Someone told me that a custom paint job says "i've been broken" to everyone and thus lowers the resale value, but then i can't be bothered spending the biiiig dollars on the kawasaki original decals.
Anyways, its a ZXR250a (1989), origonally black with gold decals and trim (brake disc, calipers, forks etc) and charcol stripes (see attached pic - not my bike but thats the basic colour scheme)
I am seriously thinking about a 555 blue with white decals and no stripes.
What do you guys reckon?
