That's how clean my bike was when I bought it 3.5 years ago - it had 16,000 miles and had never been rained on. The previous owner washed it after every ride and put it in his garage - covered. 30,000 miles, one 20 mile an hour crash and multiple drops while stopped later it doesn't look as good as it used too....
I'd like to switch to black - I just need the side panels and fender - I have a cowl and need to paint the tank anyway - dings and scratches from the crash and drops.
