I had my first proper look around an SP1 at my local dealer today and whilst I was impressed with how slim the bike was and how awesome the suspension, frame and brakes were I couldn't get over how bad the graphics were. Some of the graphics were even badly applied in places with creases, which made me think why anyone would pay £19,125 for such shoddiness? If I was forking out that amount of money I would want those graphics airbrushed by hand.
Reminds me of a time I saw a brand new R1 (Rossi race replica) for sale in a dealers. The vinyl number board on the front had huge air bubbles in it like it had been applied by a blind man with a hangover! I mentioned to a salesman that although it was a striking paint job the shoddy work on the front was letting it down massively. The response was 'yeah we know we just wanted to get it up on show'. Makes you question the dealer's attitude and attention to detail if they're happy to have something on display that's blatantly not 100% ready.
