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?

The other half is painting her ZXR400 in the WSBK 08 PSG-1 Kawasaki team colours of Green with Black flag and white details. Then its to be flicked off too.
