Mines holding up well but I avoid taking it out on salted roads if I can help it and have treated it to a healthy dose of ACF50.
I noticed a little annodisation on a lower bracket soon after I bought it when I took it out on gritted roads and this year during the cold snap I took it out and put it away unwashed then found the mesh on the air intakes looked rusty.
I gave them a good spray with ACF and rubbed them with a rag and it seems to have bought them back.
Bottom line is our salted roads will eat away at all bikes unless steps are taken to protect and clean them regularly.
