My 2010 has been terrible for rust. There has been no priming on some parts and others are coated with a layer of paint so thin that just wiping with a rag cuts through the paint.
At the bottom of the frame the paint has peeled off in chunks. The front fender has rust all around the edges and this is the second fender as the first did the same. The tank's paint is really thin and has white primer showing through in places. Under the seat the frame's paint is gone and its rusty...and same on lots of other bits including nuts, bolts, "stainless" parts, etc.
I'm going to have to strip and respray the whole bike before its done 15000 miles. So must for a premium brand!

Yea, I had to swap out both fenders last year but I rode in the winter season, not this year.
They don't make them like they used to.
I found almost new take offs with the vivid black that look fine.
I ended up cleaning, priming ready to paint and selling the original fenders on Ebay.
