They are iron rotors, and have a coating brake tech calls Black GunKote, It will wear off on the pad mating surface area (and has too before they work properly), but helps prevent rusting that will happen with iron rotors

Thanks Johnny. I did some research yesterday and found out it's just zinc coating but they're able to do it in different colours now. I presume GunKote is the marketing description for this brand.

Bringing her home on Monday !!
Sweet congrats! I'm jealous
Akrapovic or M4 if you want to save some $.
I got a bunch of stuff for my new-to-me R6. Once everything arrives I will be bringing the bike in the living room so I can do all the work at once.
I live in a really old house and the garage has no heat and very poor lighting.
The goodies I am waiting for are all in this album:
http://imgur.com/a/9Fte5 (just trying to save gtam some bandwidth)
1. Front bearings - Pretty sure previous owner liked to do wheelies, not an expensive task to just replace them.
2. Complete bolt kit - Some parts of my fairings are held by zip ties and random bolts/screws.
3. Galfer front SS brake lines
4. Symtec grip warmers - For those cool nights.
5. Gel grips - For those long rides. Bike currently has dirtbike grips right now and no bar ends...
6. Key chain - Just because it was 2$.
7. Shorty levers - Red lever with black adjuster, should look good on my black bike. Hate the long stock levers.
8. Mirrors with LED signals integrated - Current mirrors fold in at high speed and I also have a broken front signal. Current signals are garbage anyways.
9. Pair of Pilot Road 2's - For the extended mileage I will be doing this summer. Had these on my SV and loved them.
10. Pair of rotors, used - Current ones are a bit warped, pretty scary shake when braking from high speed.
11. Speed Bleeders - Makes one-manned bleeding super easy. I didn't need these, I just wanted them. (description on website)
12. Smoked tail lights with integrated signals - Again, current aftermarket signals are ugly as hell. (video in link)
13. TCX X-Cube boots - Good balance between protection and "every day comfort". Should be better than just plain running shoes.
Still needed/wanted:
Bar ends.
Stomp grips.
...and maybe an Ohlins steering damper. (have to wait for a decent deal on a new or used one, don't really make a difference to me).
