Saw a few of them in Lilleys,after seeing them i don't like it,doesn't work on a triple. They havnt changed anything else so you have matt and gloss mixed.

So which bits are matt and which gloss?

Anyone got one of these, and if so how is the finish holding up? Does it scuff up easily?

I had a friend with a matt black Aprilia and it didn't seem to get so dirty in winter for some wierd reason

If they're using 'hot-rod' flat black, or something similar, then it has an epoxy resin-like hardener in it which makes it much tougher than standard clear coat.
