I think what you need to do is to stop giving a shit about resale value. Like, completely.

You bought this bike, much like the M3, because YOU wanted it. So do what YOU want to do to it, and who cares about mods that someone else will buy or not. Take them off when you sell the bike. If you keep treating your driveway like a shady used car lot, you'll never enjoy what you have in said driveway.

The M3 never saw anything motorsports-y and now I fear the bike will go the same way. Good intentions ultimately hindered by...something. I haven't bought any car I've owned with the intent of resale. I've bought them because they're interesting to me, they're fun for me, and I sold them when I got bored, not when the maths I did said I'd get the most profit. And I sure as hell didn't make money on any of 'em so far.

If you "like money and hate throwing it away" then you should not be buying any used motor vehicle or doing a thing to it. Buy a new Civic and drive it for 10 years, bone stock, and get every last dollar of use out of it. But where's the fun in that?
