cc,

culcune was correct. jp is the place and last weekend was when i saw them. they were all prepped and ready for sale so probably there for several days prior.

the only thing i am sure about 100% in relation to the plastic is the flat black one is different. the plastic on the flat black model like i have, is the only one with unusual plastic. it is flat and not shiny, the other 2 bikes (orange and silver) appear to be standard mx style "color-in". i really do not think they are painted. although i have not seen anyone scratch them.
