    Any suggestions on if we can treat it?



    Sorry for poor quality pic.
    either a small /design matte black or any other vinyl patch else some matte black paint and some touch up and then buff it off once it dries. will gradually jel in

      Thank you Guys for the suggestions!

      Asked few experts for the touch up but they suggested against it so went for the complete wrap up of the tank in matte finish. Hopefully it will save it from any future scratches too.

                Yes, it was done to seal the borders so that it doesn\\\'t comes off while washing and cleaning. But I think it could have been done more neatly.

                      Happened to chance on the Connaught place KTM showroom today.

                      And as quietly as a Ninja, Kawasaki has launched the new 2015 Ninja 650. No mechanical changes. Changes are to rear shock, now in mean green (yuck!), colour format on the fairing, 650 sticker instead of Ninja 650 sticker and white Ninja sticker on tank (like 300).

                        Basically same paint scheme as 2012 model but with subtle changes like color coded rear suspension, different decals, different mirror shape, black color swing arm, etc. I find this paint scheme the best in the last 4 years iteration.

                          This is the best paint scheme for the 650, that matt black tank was a eye sore.

                          Those green accented shocks also looks a bit weird, but not that bad i think.

                            Yea, pair that with green rim strips and those handle bar grips with green colour coated metallic bar ends, would look fantastic.

                            Even bonkers, would be installing projector head lamps with green LED rings!!
