Lol yeah I have never known so many haters in one place but I dont mind. the more people that dislike them the less chance of seeing one the same
Best bike going no matter what the Orange haters say
YAWN!
It's not so much people hating Orange, it's more people like flow here who constantly bang on about how the Orange 5 is the best bike in the world, and if you don't own one then you automatically aspire to one, and if not its cos you've convinced yourself it must be crap out of some backwards resentment of the brand or something. I actually like the Orange brand, but people like flow, banging on constantly, like the top sales rep in the company whose new car has got 19" alloys where yours has only got 18" (therefore he must have a bigger cock than you of course), do the brand more harm than good cos the rest of us start to not want to be associated with people like that!
Look, it's a bike, people have different tastes. Some people love their Orange 5's (and there are tonnes of them, and lots of them hang around on this forum, and are almost as vocal as your man flow here), some people are indifferent to them (me, it's a bike, ride it and enjoy!) and some people hate them (normally cos they're so common now you're guaranteed to bump into 5 on any ride you go on). Personally it's whatever floats your boat, and that's great, they're not my cup of tea for various reasons, but FOR GOD'S SAKE flow shut up about this "best bike" every time someone posts about an Orange 5. If it was the best bike going, everyone would ride one! "Best" is subjective, and this is the point, my "best" is something totally different to yours, and it's variety that makes our sport what it is to some extent.
It's all a matter of taste...
Anyway, welcome to the OP... You'll find it fun around here. And just for the record, got to say I like the colour scheme on yours, I've seen literally dozens of Orange 5's in the last week or so, and none of them looked in any way as nice or subtle as yours. Most of them seem to come in one or another neon colours these days which I find hideous myself, maybe it appeals to the average Orange 5 owner (flow)? 
looking good though
