hello, i'm new to this so you have to bare with me. Anyways i have a Aprilia sr50 2005 model 55plate and i have recently come off it. It was a nasty crash as i come off in the rain and the road was very greasy. My bike got trashed, well to me it's trashed but to some of you it might just be nothing but anyways the damage was all on my exhaust side and my 'Arrow race pipe' got twisted and mashed and is not even worth looking at it's that bad. the body work is very scratched and needs a total respray. but the question i'm asking you lot is, is it worth my buying a new exhaust and the respray when it has 18,000 miles on the clock? i would appreciate your views and thoughts as i don't want to be wasting money for nothing. what do you think i will get for my aprilia this time next year with total new respray and race pipe? thanks, otis davenhill.

Problems wirh my aprilia sr 50
Nah i think its deffently worth paying for the respray and the exhaust at the end of the day you rarely make profit on things like peds or cars that you have spent money on modding. When it comes time to selling the ped if it is in fresh condition and has a frresh exhaust people will be more likely to buy it. No teenager wants their first ped to look tatty.
yeah your right, if it looks the part and runs great then it will sell because most people only use them for a year. thanks for your help pal.
no problem get some pics up when its done mate.
will do mate, few weeks should have it looking brand new
you could maybe keep an eye out on e-bay or the likes for a 2nd hand exhaust and panels...
