A post about plastics got me wondering bout this. Let's say you had the chance to buy another F3 and you found 2 with the same mileage in the same mechanical condition. Would you pay another $1000 - $2000 more if the 2nd was a SJR edition?

 

oo.. I didnt read your post before I voted.. I love the SJ model... looks awesome. I'd pay another $2-300 maybe.. but $1000 to $2000? Hell no unless it came with a $2000 visa gift card.

The SJSE is a great looking bike though.

 

if you're a collector n have spare $$$ just burning holes, maybe, personally no I know its just paint n decals. Oh and it would have to be original n documented too.

 

+1 :^d

 

Low milage all original with documentation with to much money burning a hole in my pocket and wanted a collector bike as a converstation piece... maybe.

For an every day rider... no way. I think it is stupid to pay extra $$ for looks. That is the problem with the majority of the new riders these days. They are all out there to look cool... not ride!

 

you would never catch me on a purple bike regardless of price haha.... id maybe pay 100-200 extra if it was minty but yeah same bike just more stickers....maybe in another 15 years id get one for collectors purposes.....would be an antique then

 

For me, for a 12+ year old bike, I'd be putting the extra money toward a newer model instead of into a set of plastics and some other minor differences that do basically nothing for me.

I love my F3, but that's a good chunk of money for a new bike which translates into a pretty considerable upgrade from an F3!

Edit: And yea, I don't think the Smokin' Joes looks great anyway (Purple, wtf). I much prefer my desert storm.

 

shout out to the desert storm...best factory finish in the f3's for sure (thats what mine was)

 

i'm secure enough in my manhood to ride a purple bike...doesn't bother me at all...my SJ isn't real...mine was made to look like an SJ a couple of owners ago...got the bike for a steal though because the last guy had no idea what that infernal rattling was coming from the right side of the motor

 

Holla!!
