    Was just hearing today that a local group of semi senior riders of the well healed variety have all switched from BMW GS to the KTM equivalent. Those that needed to justify the switch are quoting the 21" front wheel on the KTM. I'm not sure how swayed their financial controllers would be by that argument but it must have worked.

    We went away last month, mostly with single advs. A mate has the 800cc version and won't shut up about it. The low tanks seem to have a good effect , I'd like to try my cf with a version in future.

    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Kove 800X is 190kg for the ADV version and 176kg for the Rally, I'm assuming that is dry

    230 dry.

    Actually said mate has had two 14s and always thought he'd keep his for long rides.
    Goes up for sale soon. Says it's redundant even for touring after the cf800.
    Too tall and heavy for my slevete form
