Any black is a dust magnet. I bought a California duster just for my Raven R3 aka. Bad Wolf. I dust her off and use some Meguiar's detail spray top keep her looking clean
Raven collects dirt?
I will be purchasing an R3 soon. I would like to get the Raven; however, I am worried about it being a dust magnet. I have a black car right now and keeping it clean is next to impossible. Does anyone have this same problem with the Raven?

especially if you ride it in the rain. the day after you'll really see the dirty water marks, more so under the rear fender
That's why i'm extremely picky about when I ride, the slightest chances of rain sends me running to my cageespecially if you ride it in the rain. the day after you'll really see the dirty water marks, more so under the rear fender
Buy a cover to put over the bike when parked. Helps keep a bit of dust off mine
Late April/May the tree pollen is crazy...any black vehicle will be a pain in the Ass to keep spotless.
I have mine parked in a dirty parkade (only choice) and it gets covered pretty quickly. I was thinking about picking up a cloth and keeping it on the bike to wipe down before every ride. Is there any particular cloth that is the best? Like microfiber or something? Maybe I could use the same cloth for fueling up in case i drip any fuel on my bike.
If you can find them there (or on eBay), the California Car Duster is the best way to go.I have mine parked in a dirty parkade (only choice) and it gets covered pretty quickly.

Buy the Dash Duster version of it. It's smaller and easier to use on a motorcycle.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Plexus plastic polish. It's pretty pricey ($18.95/ 13 oz. spray can), but this is all I use on my bikes and helmets. It deterrs dirt and dust and you can wipe bugs right off. It leaves such a slick and shiny finish, it's amazing. After you use it, be sure to run your fingers over the paint. You'll see what I'm saying.
