    Thinking of going from gloss black, to matte black. Any opinions? Kinda like this 600, but with gold forks, shock and wheels.

    This may sound strange? But I guess it all depends if you like shiny things? I personally like to see a nice high gloss shine in my paint work.

    But each too their own. It's your possession, and you do what you want to do.

    I think the nice shiny gold bits may look odd with the Matt paint, but I'm happy to look after the wheels for you if you like ;)

    matt black does look good,and you wont get done by speed cameras due to it's stealth properties :)

    I like shiny myself but that does look good! Is there any problems with cleaning / polishing a Matt finish?

    I dont like gold, but that will be badass. I dont know how easy it will be to clean the bike with that finish though?

    Not so keen on the ' stealth ' matt black look, i too like gloss and shiny, also like gold on gloss black.... but for me its always going to be ' Repsol '.
