I think you will have better luck selling it by lowering the price than by painting it.

Skip the rattle can -
"Brush" black paint jobs are the new rage...in gloss only. 5" brush preferred.
You're welcome.

The brilliance of our peers, if we can even consider ourselves on the same level such as NG, is astounding!

I started painting cars (not whole cars, just a few body parts) with base/clear paint about 3 years ago. I tried spray cans many times, almost never got good results.

Is it the 13 police bike? You could dip that thing in liquid gold and it wouldn't matter. Some people just don't want used cop bikes... Especially 13s... Worst year...

Is 13 bad number or they had some mechanical problems? I know 84 was worst year for Corvettes and GoldWings.

ANYTHING that was rebuilt by a back yard hack using conduit frame, pillow seats and rattle can paint don't normally sell well........they usually end up behind the car you can't find behind the wood shed.
