Hey Guys,
I just got my new 1290 and love the bike.
Just wondering has anyone else noticed that the orange model has the tail 1290 stickers as black and the headlight sides also has 1290 black stickers.
I chose the black 1290 but KTM still put black 1290 stickers in these positions on black background which makes them invisible.WTF are they thinking,they probably should have been white or orange background or something.
What do you guys think???

Yep, I mentioned before!
Why put stickers on when they are invisible?
Leave them off then!

Is it really that important to have a visible 1290 sticker on the bike anyway? Speaking as a Black 1290 owner I like it the way it is, so for me the stickers are right.

It's understated opulance. Black = stealth. The stickers are there for you and nobody else.

The bike doesn't need to scream 1290RDUKEOMG in flashing lights. it just needs to be a black bitch of a blur. With a hint of orange.
