I don't know if there orange is as blah as the blue on the new red bull bikes. I love blue on the KTM's but the red bull blue is so dull and boring

Yes I agree, they might as well colored it black instead of a dark navy....the factories need to take a page out of moto GP and get some fluorescent colors on those race bikes. PC did it in the late 90's and early 2000's with RC, Brown, and Sorby but I believe it was just the frame and not the plastics.

Both UFO and Acerbis offered flo. green for Kawies in the 90's. The factories ran them until Kawie changed their OEM color in 2005, then production stopped. I believe you can still get them for the minis. I also found out the PC kits that UFO sells to the public have a flo. green front fender and number plate. It's got a slight blue tint to it when comparing to OEM and stands out more. I had it on my 09 and my GF still has it on her KX100, it looks sick.

Does anyone make fluorescent orange plastics for KTM? I want to build one with a fluorescent orange frame and plastics. It would be sick if KTM made their factory bikes fluorescent orange and offered it as a special option.

we actually explored the fluo orange option for this year, the problem was that the Neon color plastics failed all the standard UVA tests we tried in a time frame which was unacceptable and they all ended up a salmon pink color. We did manage to get one neon orange bike for this year though, but its painted. The color in the photos does no justice really to how bright this thing is, which is another problem with using Neon, in that its almost impossible to photograph

Damn that sucks about the Uv tests, but hopefully you can figure something out. I'm guessing you work for KTM? At least you guys know the flo orange and black color scheme is badass so keep working on it please

. I know what you are saying about photographing it, I have a flo orange helmet and the photos never do it justice. Thx for the photos of that sick bike. Don't give up on the flo orange mx bikes!
