Re: Tangerine Troubles

these are a few years old mate . and mainly to to do with the 950.

There are just as many of these recalls for pretty much any make that you wish to consider, just look at the @ section .

There are a lot of scare stories about the KTM's and BMW and, well need i go on ?.

Look at the forum members here who ride "Orange" (or Blue) and totally enjoy their bike, despite the niggles, thats what its all about.

Go on , get one !, ride ORANGE Baby !!!.

Re: Tangerine Troubles

DONT PANICK !!!!

I have a 05 950 Adv with 27,000 miles on the clock and " touch wood" have not had any probs worth putting into this sentence.

As with any bike there will be a few niggles but i have had for less with the Adv than i did with my last bike a new BMW!!!

Hi Bob,(and everyone else).Got no fears of the orange bikes.I was just posting the link for info rather than having a go at reliability. I thought it would be nice to have an idea of what I may have to fix at some point .Although the Adventure is my fave' I've been looking towards a Supermoto ! (Both my @'s are pleasure bikes,I'm working on a 400Bros. )

ps.I've had an "Orange Moto" for some time,but it's not one anyone here would be wanting !
