bleurgh I knew I shouldn't have said anything about the ktm yew guys!

there's something about the orange which makes it look more rugged and mean than the subtle silver..

not sure where that's coming from but it's a depressing way to see the world. Buying a silver KTM would be like buying a bright green R1, or a blue ducati.. it just won't work.
I bought a black KTM.

In all honesty if you really have set your heart on an orange ADV then keep looking till you find a suitable one. They do come up, patience is the key. Its not like they are the only 2 in the country right? Also a bike like that you could ride it home where ever you get it from. Try not to pressure yourself into THAT one, its a lot of cash and personally id rather do it right.

This is just one example, fully blinged with everything you need with room for a bit of a haggle. If you hover your cursor over the link it even that turns orange!

Already been ping'd about that one by one of the guys from the ktm forum. Think that's the main thing Amp, at the price the dealer has dropped to, the silver bike is the one to have - but I'll forever be looking at the orange ones thinking "Blimey they don't half look saucy in orange!"... It's easy to let your heart jump into your mouth after a test ride and sign on the dotted line without really thinking what you're doing but I'm taking my time
