I bought a used 2007 Red/Black CBR 600 RR with 4500 miles on it for $5400. It was dropped once on the left side, and the frame slider saved it.

The only damage on the bike is the fairings (but not even noticeable, you have to look at it).

Would you recommend replacing the fairings for $900 if you were to sell the bike? Is it worth it?

if you got the bike for $5400why are you worrying about making it worth more value? you got a damned good deal if you ask me! you could easily get 6-7k for that bike without switching out the fairings (assuming its in pristine condition other than that small scrape).... its not worth replacing all the fairings if you are to replace any, just replace what''s scratched...

many people do part-outs where they will sell just one fairingor the ones u need... just keep ur eyes peeled
