It's all about personal preference and making it your own. There are plenty 2010 and 2011 left over's out there you just have to ask your/a dealership if they can locate one.

My son is a bike salesman, they had two 2010 for two years,I bought mine and the other one sold to a dealer in ohio a week later.The dealer in Ohio said that theirs(my sons shop) was the closest one( massachuttes) so they must be getting harder to find.

I like the polished parts... all blacked out is nice, but maybe as an option... I guess it partly is with all the carbon parts available. It would be fun to have a few minor versions of the bike... maybe a "drag pack" option right from the factory like the ole muscle cars.	MN_MAX OFFLINE Senior Max Posts: 140 Thank you received: 112

Welcome TGIF. And the answer is no unless you custom paint them yourself.	VmaxOZ NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2326 Thank you received: 1369

I am very happy with the finish of the matt black paint.I think it suits the character of the bike very well.When compared to a honda fury side by side thought the max looked way better.There is some texture to the paint on max, where on the fury the matt black was very smooth and dull.hammer down out	hammerdown OFFLINE Fresh Max Posts: 9 Thank you received: 1

TGIF wrote: is there available gloss black for side cover and air intakes Welcome. No I don't think so. Side covers & scoops are available in carbon fiber (very good quality). Side covers are also available in matt black with red fringed Vmax logo. I don't know about any other variety. Anyone else stumbled onto another?	vmaxbabe OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4438 Thank you received: 1275

He Guys , Maybe an idea to let your motorcycle get stickered in the colour you would like to have . I am from the Netherlands , have seen a Bentley first white a month later it was black . you can not see it and your original paint stays preserved . They must have it here to somewhere . I love my M Black , his name is knight . It is a beast of a machine . Gr Mark.	lightworker OFFLINE Fresh Max Posts: 45 Thank you received: 20

Just had to ring in on this one. I have had the 2012 for 1 month and a 1/2. I hate the color. Just as soon as this winter comes it will be gettin painted something different. To me the flat black is ugly but to some they like it. I'm wantin to chrome the alumn, parts as well. But the flat black is got to go, believe it or not everyone around were I live like it alot but I can't stand it. Just my 2cts. Dannie
