Agree; in this part of the world (australasia) these bikes make good sense. Crappy roads and lotsa gravel ones.

Yep, that was my call.

Their early (early-to-mid 90s) sales collateral was big on that theme. Suspect it's a carry-over from their previous incarnation.

Looks like an F800 with a bigger bum.

Did BMW do such a credible job with their GS range that every other manufacturer has to copy them (except KTM of course)? looks like a good bike for most adventurists come lounge tourer...Come on KTM make a 700 adventure...do it... do it now

Looks better than a beemer and hopefully will have better suspenders than the bmw,s basic set up...oh but it will probably not be any cheaper though..
