The BAD: I ride this bike, so it's not perfect (closeup pics below), but it's damn nice:

small crease in the left side of rear fender from someone tapping the rear end at a stoplight
some wear in the paint on rear fender from P-pad and a scratch on the lower right side of the fender
usual bluing on the exhaust pipes
chrome finish on right side of rear wheel isn't great (b/c I mistook a spray bottle of acid for a bottle of wheel cleaner)

Marred chrome finish on right side of rear wheel

Blemishes in paint from P-pad

small crease in side of fender

Usual bluing on exhaust
