Its perfectly normal, It can be buffed out, but will return very qulckly. If the pipes get warm enough over a period of time they will go a slightly better (than brown) blue colour.

the pipes on these bikes unlike most are stainless steel and the heat from the motor turns the champagne/gold it normal fine wire wool and a good chrome polish will keep them looking shiny and eventually they will remain a nice gold colour

I use never-dull. works good but you cant let it build up then expect it to work. You have to stay on top of it.
