So,when exactly did Honda quality go in the toilet?

My '13 was stored in a garage since new and when I bought it from the original owner last year it had specks of rust on the chrome bits. It sucks, but it isn't a deal breaker. I still enjoy the bike for trips around town.

I have seen that too (from cold, salty northern climate), but in every case some very relaxed 'n' easy chrome polish made very quick work of the "specks" like they never existed.
