OK so heres a question for you KTM and BMW lovers. Which one would you recommend and why?
The reason Im asking is because I am A BMW fan who doesnt really know KTM that well living in a country that sells only KTM´s and Hondas.
So I have a choice: Wait until March/April next year, fly to Santiago and buy a new 650GS for my wife and dakar for myself and ride em back to Lima via Argies and Bolivia,
or
B) Go out and buy a KTM for myself and battle finding something low enough for my 5"6 wife so we can start cruising on weekends and do a nice circular trip next year.
Ive also heard that KTM´s arent as balanced and are harder than a GS/Dakar. It´s prolly bullshit, but is there anyone out there who might be able to offer me some decent advice? Oh, and by the way, I dont give a rats ass whether I look cute or not on it, (my wife might though ) Im solely interested in the functionality, reliability and maintainability of the thing.
Cheers.
