I had 4 Ktms at one time just sold my last Ktm which was a 690 enduro , you have to put so much money into KTM's to get them to run correctly I would not buy another one ... My 990 SMR was the favorite .
I rode a Tenere last year , way to heavy , brakes are Ok , suspension way to soft but was not set up but my biggest pet petpev with that bike was the ABS could not be turned off .
I do like the the BMW , rode last years R1200gs , really nice machine , think the only thing they changed on the bike is they lightened up the crank guys were complaining about stalling .
The only thing I could complain about over priced accessories and bike ... LOL
I got a really good deal on a 2014 Tiger explorer XC saved about 5k over buying the BMW but really like the new 2015 Tiger 800 XcX comes with white suspension .
