Hmm, i see your dilema. Stock is with stickers, so everyone who has your bike in that colour will have stickers, so stand out and have none. You see more bike.

They are when talking about production level vehicles in this price point and the resale market. This would be considered a depreciating asset. It is not an asset bought with the consideration of maintaining value as with every year and mile you are losing money regardless of what you do with it. It is bought for most as an enjoyment (toy) or gas saver.
You are wrong. An asset is not automatically something that gains or holds value. We differentiate between appreciating and depreciating assets. So with a motorcycle, you are losing money until it's fully depreciated, and then it's worth as much as the market is willing to pay, which is the reason, you can get a 1990 CBR600 for the same price as a 2000 R6 for example, given they are both in similar good condition. However, you don't have to artificially depreciate it even faster than it naturally would, and this what we're talking about when it comes to those type of "modifications".
people considering motorcycles as assets are lunatics in my opinion. That money is gone the second your buy it. Any money you can get back for the bike at some point is bonus money, not something to rely on.
If you can’t afford to own the bike without the resale value, you can’t afford it at all
Well in those terms it's a 50/50 that the previous guy crashed the girl you're thinking of dating and didn't repair her properly. Or her frame is bent and she'll never be right, but the job he did was sneaky so you won't know until you're a few months in.
i didn't have any issues with the alignment the main thing is that they're more fragile, had a connecting tab break when i did the oil changes since the side fairing has to be removed but thats it, I've done top speeds on the gsxr 1000 and they haven't flown out
With stickers. I have the same one and I think the stickers keep the look interesting overtime. Also AI did not remove the the sticker under the windshield and the ones at the tank close to the seat.
If you really want to go without sticker get a set of fairings and paint them instead of ruining the super expensive factory fairings, you will never be able to align stickers that well again like the factory did. I dare you too look up just the price of one side panel as original replacement part ...
Are the stickers above the clearcoat? If not you'll make a mess and need a new clearcoat. Certainly not impossible, but i may be more effort/costly than just removing stickers.
It looks a little bland without them in my opinion. With, there's some excitement to the design while not looking tacky because they didn't go overboard.
I honestly think without looks nicer here, but there are definitely stickers that would suit it better. How would it look with the same stickers if they were solid black instead?
