    How well does the finish last on the black framed bikes?

    Is it painted?

    Regards,

    Rob.

    Bike is only 4 months old.

    I mentioned this about a year ago when I got my 2012. I was not happy about it but I have got over it now.

    You may be right,had a 2007 600RR and had no problems,even being ham fisted with a screwdriver barely left a mark.
