I'm considering a 2015 but notice that both models, grey and white, are finished with matt paint.
Whilst matt finishes seem to be popular at the moment, is it not somewhat impractical on an adventure bike? Scratches cannot be polished out, I've seen the results of t-cut on a matt green Triumph Scrambler, the finish was ruined.
Basically anything that rubs on the tank, be it a tank bag, cover, or your knees is likely to leave a permanent blemish on the paint that can't be dealt with.
