Have you seen the body work on the late 999R? Fackin gawjus. ... Glossy glossness everywhere. The way forward.
I admit, the 999r did (and still does) look amazing. But IMHO its of its time. Just look at the amount of satin finishes there are out there these days, whether its cars, bikes or kitchen equipment. Styles change and on an 899 I'd go for a flat finish rather than gloss. But the OP asked for opinions not for us to decide so I'll leave it there. As @El Toro says....your money, your choice.
As I once read in the Viz 'Don't waste money on expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view'
Gloss everytime....why would you want to make your bike look dull?? unless it's a Suzuki and the manufacturer has already done that for you anyhoo.
Both my bikes are matt black, if I put gloss carbon on it, it looks shite and out of place. My 1199s has a matt carbon front hugger and that looks just fine I can see the weave perfectly mind you I did have my eyes lasered
Thats coz its japanese, Last time I saw you was at Newlands you had the multi I think, have you still got it?
