OK...I looked through these forums and did not see this topic discussed and I apologize if it has been.
In fact, I apologize if this seems like a stupid subject, but it is bothering me because my profession involves all things visual. And yeah, maybe I'm a bit OCD.
Here we go.
You have to admit that KTM orange is different.
It's not that I don't like it, but I haven't had to deal with it on my other bikes.
How the hell do you coordinate anything with this color?
I have always had success with black and red attire and helmets.
That's what I have now, but the more I consider getting serious about putting down money on the 1290 SDR, the more I think I'll look like a barfy color combo riding down the road.
I know...as long as I'm seen. Maybe I should go hi-viz, but OMG...hi-viz green and orange? whoa...
What, if anything, did the experienced KTM people do to resolve this strange predicament?

I was going to go with Astar KTM suit, SuperTech R boots & gloves...

have a squiz around here

but then I thought I'll look like a wanker and decided to switch my order on the 1290 from orange to black.

Ahhh, all has been restored... free to continue wearing black/white ensembles.

It's funny how nothing really rhymes with the word orange either.
I guess the best bet is to go neutral...white, silver, black.
The problem is, my wife says the red Shoei I bought is too expensive to replace with another one.
I guess I'll be looking at a warm theme....like a sunset maybe.
