Default regrets about modding?

does anyone here regret moding their bike?

I am still running a pretty much stock buell and other then a kn filter, speed screen and grips its pretty much all stock, i miss the sounds, but the pipe is expensive for something that I am never going to truly use to its full potential.

If you had the chance to get all of the money that you put into your bike and it be returned to stock, would you do it?

I haven't really gone all that crazy with the beemer, but I got most things I wanted with it. I really want to invest in some elka or ohlins suspenders next.

i did a decent bit to the rc, but the buell seems to be a bit more indepth to mod and there for more of a chance of me fucking it up, i might put a pipe on at some point, but i like it the way it is, maybe a seat eventually

I've done almost everything that can be done performance-wise to my GSXR (short of building the motor) and would do it all again, no questions. It took me a long time, but I think it's finally to a point where I couldn't be happier with it.

And make it look like every other R6/R1 out there? Fuck no. I use other people's stupid/good mods to determine what to get. Some people do stupid shit to their bikes. Yes...I know it's not my bike. I don't care.

I'm with you... I do this with every bike and i'm almost always happy...besides, you can always change things later.

BTW as far as the poll goes, yes I'd take my money back only so I could apply it to the newest latest mod!

I have no regrets putting the tank pad on the CBR.
