I believe it would truly depend on how bothered you were.
Most likely get the bike repainted whatever color you want for ~close~ to the hit you'd take on the trade in value of your 1 yr old used bike.
Does anyone have a bike where the paint has actually worn/scratched through yet?
I voted no because I wouldn't trade up next year for paint. I may trade up in a few years if the paint is better and they add a few options on like cruise or ABS. It may take them a few years to get it right anyway. But I'm pretty sure I'm not going to own another brand of bike. Probably as soon as I get this bike exactly the way I want it I'll trade it in lol.
I would trade up for better paint and ABS for sure...
Me....NO..... I am loyal to my friends and feel the same about a piece of equipment that takes care of me.....
Those long hours of detailing are forever gone. Swirl marks in soft paint are a way of life with the F6B. A quick wash and dry with the red/black is all that I need to satisfy myself. At this stage of the game I'm looking at "functional" and not "fancy". No "bling" (chrome) on the 6 was one of the reasons I bought the bike. Previous rides were adorned in chrome to include every last nut and bolt head:icon_rolleyes:
No paint "wear through", no problem:icon_wink:
Nope. The bike has some scuffs and dings from being a demo. The paint looks fine, and I am not one to polish the bike anyways just wash with soap and water which has no effect on the paint.
If I was concerned about the paint I would much rather just have the bike done with a custom paint scheme other than take a hit on a trade in.
I mite in a few years if we get more power and cruise control.
But not for any other reason
As long as they don't make a dark blue one.:021:
Gonna paint mine this winter and it will be clear coated
No way will I trade her in.I will wait till I get sick of taking care of the crap black paint and get a custom paint job done.
