The only premium I could see would be something like a Harley or Victory where my intention would be to do a stage one upgrade with new pipes, air filter, and ECU flash. From what I have read modern Harleys do really well with an oil cooler added (already on the Victory), and the stage one kit with more open pipes, K&N type of air filter, and ECU flash. For me I would search out a nice used bike that already had this and get the upgrade for little to no cost over stock even though this is probably a 1000-2000 upgrade.
Same with the CB 1100. Used I would search out one with the Aussie 4 into 4 exhaust or other exhaust system I coveted. Probably pay little to no extra over another similar one without the upgrade. I would pay more though if the original exhaust were included. Same with those beautiful red side covers some of you ar sporting. I would pay extra to have the original stock side covers included.
Save those stock parts people!
