Sorry to say this mate but you're discovering what many others have before you and didn't realise. The more you change/bling up a bike from standard the less it's worth. The biggest depreciation element is colour/paint to bodywork, tank, frame, wheels, coloured break lines etc, then comes anything that's non standard and isn't a direct replacement, screens, exhausts, end cans etc. Things that are good but don't add value like suspension up grades, yes it's an Ohlins shock or Ktech front revalve/cartridge but the bike must have suspension, the fact it's now fitted with 3k worth of AM won't add 3k to the bike. The other big blind hole is tuning, PC, Power plus etc, they don't add value. The colour of yours appeals to you and possibly to some others, but not the masses, so it could potentially sit in their showroom for months even years! I always tell my customers to keep all standard parts and avoid colour changes. If they really want to change the colour get a second set of body work/tank and change that, keeping the originals. Come sell on time put the bike back to standard and sell off the painted parts for crash repairs etc. Racers have been doing just that for years Put it back standard as far as you can, if you want a trade in. You'd be better off trying to find the other person via a private sale, who likes/wants the colour. What you thinking of going on to?
You would easily get £3.5k for a stock bike, let alone all the accessories. The bike as is imho is a £4k+ bike all day long. Due to the pandemic bike prices specially on the FZ1 are much higher than they should be. Look at the 15k mileage price point on the following page - - https://www.thebikemarket.co.uk/yamaha/fz-fazer/fz1So if you have any of the original stock items (like Gnasher suggested) I would personally put those back on and sell all the accessories separately. I say this as a lot of the items you have put on there are worth hard cash - Bodywork:Carbon fibre rear huggerChassis:Rizoma Risers, Drag bars, Lux Grips & Bar endsPazzo LeversAbarth Scorpion Radiator GrillCarbon Fibre Heel PlatesGilles gold chain adjustersEngine:Power commander 3 with custom mapMivv Gp Carbon endcanO2 sensor eliminator Exup servo eliminator Updated Rotor and StatorAll of the above are sought after items, eg PowerCommander.
Versys 1000 MT-09 Tracer VFR1200 (with the semi auto gearbox)BMW S1000RAprilia Tuono (dream bike but no local dealer support 😕)There is also a stunning MV Augusta Brutale 800rr But anyway back to the title.... do you think £3500 is a fair price for mine if sold privately?

The screen is awesome, I was able to ride with the visor up the whole time. Also you will need legs longer than 31" (me) as its a stupid tall bike.Also a nice bike, and like the Versys it has a center stand. Suspension would need tweaking as I had it run wide in corners (but I had only ridden it for 1hr)I considered this also, but the maintenance costs for it and ridiculous and it has a short tank range.no idea on this one, or the Tuono or the Brutale - they ALL look stupid expensive (10k+)lastly the price, 3.5 all day long, but I would suggest £4k atm due to the increased prices and all that bling. I say this because I paid £3650 for a 2007 with 35k that has some accessories on it back in Dec 2020.
Most I've been offered by a dealer so far is £2850 off a £6500 Z1000sx. If they would budge to £3.5k I'd go for it but will have to wait and see
