Here we have a classic example of how a non-standard paint job can affect the value of an otherwise desirable motorbike.
This 1985 VF1000R is represented to have only 7397 miles with most of the maintenance up-to-date, running well and a clear title. At some point a not particularly unattractive blue and white paint scheme was applied, but underneath it's still an "R" model big-block V4. If this bike had been repainted in original colors I would bet that the value would be closer to $6000. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with owners customizing their ride, as long as we go into it realizing that we may be among the few who appreciate the effort.
