but when you combine BOTH the anodized parts AND the matching gear....well then triple backflips are a piece of cake!!!

I have heard that before.
Also, when you break down there is no shortage of people willing to help you.

i cant buy any blue anodized clutch and brake master cylinder for my gasgas but i can get the ktm ones without any problem.
those parts, as well as anodized radiator guards, makes the bike so much better.
plus some gasgas are red and some blue....who has the cash to buy complete matching gear and helmets for both colors? not me. and again, this gives you a huge performance edge.

you want 5000 Harley friends? A M109R is the most lonely bike on earth.The sports bikes don't want to know you & the Harley/Triumph cruiser boys hold you in contempt.

I'm glad someone brought this subject up, as I gave a lot of consideration to the after-market parts color availability when choosing between KTM and GG for my new scoot. Gear color didn't really weigh into it for me since all my gear is pink and everyone knows pink coordinates nicely with everything. Anyway I was set on the KTM until I discovered that you could install orange powerbands in the GG, too. So as it turned out it was really a no brainer. I saved a few benjamins and still had my choice of powerband color options. I still have no friends, but they are overrated IMO.
