Can you give me your 2 cents worth

[Condor]

Well, about a year ago I purchased my 2000 MM (which I love) for a great price. My son was the finance manager at the dealership that I bought the bike from so I got a good deal.

 

Well, I am not really liking the color, while the bike is a pretty bike, I really like darker colored motorcycles. While I keep looking around I do not see any prices that are so high that I should concern myself with changes (painting the bike to match my choices). My opinion is that I paint it and ride it in enjoyment, or sell it and buy another. My choice of color would be a black with a small amout of blue metalflake in the paint.

 

My question is simply this...if I paint my bike to the color I want do you think my value on the bike will change (if it changes at all).

 

The biggest issue that bothers me is that my bike is number 3 ....of 1500.

 

Please let me know what you think......just looking for input to help me make my mind up.... Thanks for your thoughts....

I'd go ahead and paint it, number 3 or not. I don't see the MM's becoming a true collectors bike for a very long time, and even then you'd probably do better putting your money into a better performing investment. Besides, a black MM would really be a rarity in about 50 years. Just think you can mess with everyone's mind... BTW the black with a slight tint of blue metal flake actually exists and is a '91VR color....
