The first question I would be asking the dealers is does it have a clear coat? If the answer is no I can guarantee you the paint will appear on wax applicators and rags. I had my 2013 red painted yellow with a healthy clear coat. That is the only bad point on an other wise exhalent ride. No matter what your decision there is a great chance the ride of choice will require some modification to make it fit you. One size does not fit all. The choice you do make should be the machine you can spend the most time riding, this is after all a large investment. Good luck in the hunt.
