Paint Problem with 1KRR

[rino451]

On another fourm there were several people who mentioned that the paint on their upper where it comes close the a radiator hose (I think). Has anyone else seen this? I seemed like it was more pronounced on the silver and black model because of the light nature of the silver. I really like that color scheme but I'm tempted to get black if discoloration is going to be a problem.

PS Why won't Honda bring back red, white, and blue to the US? We piss them off or something?

I have a friend with a silver and black 1000RR and his is starting to show the discoloration. As far as I know it's happening to every color.

on the black RRs the tank dulls out quickly. they didnt put enough clearcoat or soemthing. from your leather jacket it turns grey kinda quickly

I have the red / black / bronze one, and no discoloration as of yet. close to 8k miles.
