Push your luck and ask for it chrome plated or anodised!

Exactly what Scotty said....and I bought the bike 2nd hand from Duc Glasgow. The bike was one and a half years old and they gave me another year on top, full Ducati factory warranty. The paint is coming away from the crank cases very badly...new crank cases under warranty...and the frame is starting to show rust through the paint. I know the guy who had it before me and believe me it was immaculate when I got it. Ive only rode a few times on salty roads last year, but it got a good hose down straight after. By the state of the paint on the crank cases, it is def a manufacturing fault....its peeling off like a leper!!!
