Unfortunately true. This is my fav bike on the forum, but not everyone will want that scheme.
Which is why when I go to sell mine, ll the vinyls etc are coming off.

I can take the vinyls off...
I guess my question is, should I take the vinyls off and make it looks less "awesome" 
?
?not to make it less awesome but to make it less personal... right now it suites you taking the decals may open the market up to more people, when you personalize something you limit your market.... in my experience with selling things at least ( granted i do love your decals)I guess my question is, should I take the vinyls off and make it looks less "awesome"

Aye, have to say it's a bit garish for my tastes.
Though I quite like the vinyl but dislike the blue explosion on the rear and front end, and that massive yamaha logo on the windscreen looks naff.
At the mo as leprechaun says it's a very personal bike.

Hello all I have not been here for qiute some time.
FZRBlack. I would not remove the decals yet. May I suggest that you leave the bike as is and perhaps have some black "blanks" that you could cover the existing decals ,,some or all,,then the potential buyer can see the bike with or without decals and perhaps give them more visual choices. Laurie.

Nope, they are vinyls. I may just do that...
GLWS... god knows your not too far from me and if i had the money id be all over it.
Yeah, honestly, I am trying to give forum members a crack at it first. I would be willing to "de-modify it a little bit. I have the stock screen, and could paint the rear hugger black and remove the vinyls. I will just let it ride and see if I get any bites.
Or we could swap chain guards plus some cash and i would gladly take your hugger blu and all...If you are willing
Bump, Anyone?
Honestly, you'd prolly have better luck (and potentially more money) parting this out and replacing the parts with stock ones and then selling the bike as close to stock as possible. I agree with others here, it's too personal. Maybe the buyer would want to do their own personalization to a bike, but can't with everything you have going on with it. Either that or go straight to the dealer with it in as-is condition - thereby taking a considerable hit instead of going private sale.
As someone that has a modified car, I know no one will buy it as is (I'd really have to look high and low) and would have to return it to stock as much as possible before I would even be able to sell it. Sure, it has lots of mods, but mods actually devalue a vehicle, just because people don't want it modified.
Same as a house, there will be less people wanting to buy a house if all the walls were painted pink. It'll be listed forever! It's not that hard to paint the walls, but no one will want to do it when they buy it either and still pay top dollar for that house.
Good luck.

As is
I agree with the idea that you should market your bike "as is" but with a note that the graphics can be removed. I wouldn't mind picking up a personalized bike, and would be more likely to buy from an owner who took care of the bike and had an obviously serious interest in bringing out the it's full potential. I hope you'll stay active in the forum.

Of course I will stay active. I do still know a ton about our bikes, so I think that I would be helpful. I am planning on painting some of the blue stuff black over the winter to de-personalize it a little bit, but most of the stuff will remain the same.
Bump. Soon it will be riding weather....at least I am trying to stay positive.
damn man still no bites? i wish i had more money lol.... if my other job would just pick its dragin ass up......uhg
lol start restoring her back to stock.... start with the exhaust and bring your price to 4100 and u might be closer to my range XD... theres a bike on CL with 106 miles for 4100 and id kill to be able to make payments on a bike with a price tag like that...
