    My KTM is Silver.
    And I don't have to worry about primary drives shitting themselves...

    Thumbs up I couldn't decide tween the GS & KTM

    So got a Tiger

    The Tiger was new with panniers and cost about the same as 2nd hand 950's on the market(25000k on clock) without luggage. Very few 1200GS's on the market and were out of my $$ range.

    Actually think the Tiger slots in between the two nicely & with my limited seat time i think i'm gonna be happy with it. Couple weeks in S.I. in Feb will tell.

    I think the Tiger slots in well below the KTM and GS1200 in dirtability but compares really well in the sealability department.

    KTM sure but wouldn't say 'well below' compaired to GS (from what i've read/heard) sure gonna be fun finding out tho

    Good 2up even on gravel and yeah, a real hoot on the seal.

    Not gonna be taking it too far off road. got the WR for that
