Many Italian brakes are like that, the material is chosen for best braking not for best looking! It rubs off as soon as you use the brakes, right?

Here we go again.
Has everyone had a sense of humour by-pass lately.
As an old biker that was brought up on jap stuff from the 80`s, they all had chrome plated brake disks to stop them going rusty.
They were utter ***** in the rain though, you had to ride with one finger on the lever to keep them dry otherwise they just did not work when needed.
Everyone wanted steel rotors & were not bothered if they went rusty.
Funny how things come back round.
