KTM vs BMW

[Voicy]

To hijack the thread again,

I found the perfect replacement stand: Trail Tech 5301 http://www.amazon.com/Trail-Tech-530...9616846&sr=8-1

But just my luck, Amazon doesn't ship it to SA. :/ And of course no other bloody vendor in this country stocks it.

Oh schite, I forgot

Amazon is great for not being able to send to SA, however there are guys in the US who will send it to you if you contact them direct ( just look at who's selling the item and phone them) or look further in the pages of your search and you might find the same item for sale under a slightly different name and they will send it to you then.

OP, what did you end up getting?

I have just got the money to buy my bike so I have had sometime to contemplate what to get. I have test ridden all the bike to consider and I really love the KTM 990, although I'm worried about the advanceness of it and that I might kill myself doing something stupid on it ( damn that thing is fast ) so the BM1200 is looking like an good idea but its HEAVY and pricey, the BMW 800 though I never thought I'd consider looks like a really great bike. It has a low CG and great off-road and still powerful enough. Really I'm going to see what's out there in the next few weeks and I will buy what ever is the best deal.

Have you considered the Triumph Tigers? Probably worth including in your list.

I have, my concerns are that they don't seem the sort of off road kinda bike the KTM or BMW are and the look is a little off putting, lastly they are very rare to find

The looks are obviously dependant on your own personal taste but I think the offroad capabilities are on a par with both the KTM and BMW. Read a very thorough review of the 800 Tiger recently.
