Default Making the bike look newer

first off... tell me guys if this is a good deal.. .
1995 f3 600 with 25,000 miles... scratches and scuffs from wear and tear... and probably fell once...with a small crack in the fairng... and tires with 50% threads... for >2000?

--

if so... i personaly think its an UGLY... color scheme... its white with purple and yellow decals.



and i wanna know what i can do to make it look newer... or if its worth the effort... and have a differnt color scheme... *the darker ones*

thats a really good deal and has a pipe too, that is a 96 model the 95 model looked like mine \/\/\/\/\/\/\/ in the picture below, you can pick up all new fairings like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-H...79192819QQrdZ1
i think these /\/\/\/\ have a cool scheme and you could sell your plastic on ebay and make most of your money back probly

oh i see, you can tell the different years from the color schemes its just something you learn from reading about them all the time like i do, i found this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/cbr-600-f2-f3-cbr600-upper-fairing-kit-lower-headlight_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35583QQihZ002 QQitemZ120076031492QQrdZ1 its not everything you need so you would have to buy the tail fairing center upper and rear fairing you would have to buy a different rear light and seat with these fairings that im showing you they change the rear section in 97 & 98

i saw alot of these color schemes on there also

As far as making it appear to be a newer bike, there are a ton of things you can do. Here's one, though we have still had no one, that I know of, succesfully contact this manufacturer to get prices. Here is an F3 kit from Spain...

Badass...

I was under the impression that the F2 and F3 was completely interchangeable. I think the only difference is the side fairing mounting bolt, isn't it (the one under the maint. cover)? I don't even have bolts for mine on there so I say to eff with it - someone buy one sos we can see a pic installed.

If anything, the subframe and the upper fairing stay should match - that's enough to buy this kit... hell, the rear would be enough for me!
