this is the one for sale in MArket place....

The attached pic is of the Wifes bike....

The confusion is that hers seems 'gloss' and this one seems 'matt'

We ordered a mirror and it's turned up and is spot on.. but it's Matt....

Were both models of bike made ? Or has hers been sprayed/lacquered ?

Weeksy,

I think they were all matt?

Could yours have been cut and polished?

I've always liked the grey/red bikes, like my Senna.

Nice bike anyway!

pretty certain they were all matt tbh as I preferred the colours to the yellow/red but wanted an R so couldn't have grey.

Oooooooh interesting... hmmmmm

It's not a huge issue as the ferry company will be paying if we have to re-spray this one....

All the fairings etc look standard and are 'grey' on the underside... and it's not on any lists as damaged... hmmmmm

My one was matt.

Yep, they were all matt from new. Yours has been buffed/polished by the look of it. You'll need to do the same to the new mirror.
