I went to my dealer, Cycle Shack North, had them take pictures of my bike (F6BD), my odometer (900 miles), and my wax rag (besmudged red). I filed a warranty claim stating I had purchased 9 new Hondas and 5 used Hondas and every one of them had clearcoat paint topping. This one had no clearcoat topping and I had a reasonable expectation, unless otherwise told, that there should be clearcoating on this bike or it would surely fade in the Houston sun.
