This French blog site (use google translate) has some disturbing pictures of discolouration and corrosion.

Are any current owners here seeing any similar issues? When my AT arrives I will do what I can to keep it looking good. First on the list is a professional full vinyl wrap for the fairing, tank, side panels and front mudguard, Honda Bigwing in Bangkok are doing the dismantling and reassembly. I will attempt to wrap frame, partial swinging arm, rims and any exposed black plastic myself. Hopefully we'll have some more creative (but still functional) crash bar/engine bar options soon which again will be wrapped or powder coated. If anyone has any other tips or product recommendations for long term protection/preservation please let me know.
