Does anyone know why my Ducati would have made the frame satin black with metallic flakes so that it doesn't match the tank?  Really annoying to go through all this trouble just to get things to match.

I'm sure they want the fewest frame colors possible. Red or black metallic then add whatever color bodywork is called for. Why did they go with the metallic in the first place? The guy making the decisions must not have liked flat black for some reason. Maybe flat black was too pedestrian.

Don't know.  I remember I had my S4RS for a short time when one day I was checking out its awsomeness and noticed little glitter flakes in the black paint.   Huh?

^Are you referring to the paint on the tank or the frame?
