With that said Anubis,
It gets better than that if they really were limited. Just check out the Blue Book Value sometime - price difference is over $1000.00 vs standard coloring. This is interesting with your ability of acquiring the plastics. If they're the same price it ain't a bad idea to get a Repsol replacement set if anyone trashes their own and are about to sell their baby. Value is considerably more it seems if you have to swap plastics.... just a thought since the bikes are identical anyway!

wow. that is very interesting. is the plastics the only difference between the repsol's and the other 1000rr's? if so, the price differences between the 2 will probably shrink over time. just for a comparison, the 2001 929's and the erion racing editions for the same year have the same retail value. and they have different plastics as well as black frames and swingarms. but it may depend on the number of units produced. either way i am jealous of all you repsol guys. that is by far the best stock paint scheme ever!
and changing the plastics doesn't make a true repsol. a regular 1000rr with repsol plastics is still a regular 1000rr. and a repsol with normal plastics is still a repsol. they are differentiated by the vin and not the colors.
