photoben You got the camera on auto? If so metering is fine.
my guess is that it's metering for the background and slightly over-exposing the bright yellow, so it comes out a bit less saturated and less orangey than it is in real life - I reckon a slight negative EV adjustment should do the trick.
plus, it's quite difficult to get the camera to focus on the skinny bike rather than what's behind it! Maybe there is a point to oversized tubes after all..
