#11Titanium... Always liked the orange, but since I bought the titanium I have grown to prefer it over the orange... Has a real stealth look and feel to her..

#15OK, this is the difinitve answer to this question.
KTM decided that it's corporate colour was going to be orange. They're not the first bike manufacturer to do this, Laverda had it in the '70's but they are now a defunk brand and KTM have ownership. (sorry Lavera but you are dead). Long live the king.
The thing is that orange is the brand colour but we can use it as we wish, to a greater or lesser extent.
Back in 1917 Barion Von Richtofen painted his Fokker triplane, and previously his Albatross D111, bright red in defiance of military protocol and camofauge rules and wisdom. He was sort of saying, "Fook you" to everyone, including the RFC, and flying about in the knowledge that his gang was the best and superior in most ways to anyhthing else out there.
Some of the gang painted their cowlings red. Some just their wings and their interplane struts. Or maybe their wheels. Others it was the whole plane but left a little bit as it came out of the factory.
But the point is that they retained their individuality, but they made their planes their own, but they also made them part of a fraternity that bound them together and made them instantly recognisable. Both lined up in the French fields awaiting take off and in the heat of battle. It bonded them together and it made them proud to be brothers as they went out on their missions to risk their lives and faught together.
So I love the analogy of the Superduke owners out there. We all want our personal statements. We all want to make our bikes different. But we all are part of the KTM brotherhood so we stick a little, or a lot, of orange on our mounts.
No one is better than the others. It's just degrees of the same passion!
I LOVE IT!
