I would rather just have bare unfinished metal then have it painted silver.

Having the side covers buffed to a "hair line" finish by hand and then clear coated would be more expensive than robot painting.

Yeah, I get that but if they are already producing the polished parts for what is most likely their two largest markets (North America & Asia) how much are they actually saving by cheaping out in the UK? Or are all the European CB1100s the same?
