Help.....Which one?

[Jaakmh]

I Can not decide between the following (all 2nd hand):

Honda XR650L
Yamaha 660 Tenere
KTM 640 Adventure
Royal Enfield

I'm a short guy +- 1.65m and weigh no more than 60kg's with Off road/enduro experience.

The XR is the lightest but also got the tallest seat height.
The XT is the most expensive and the heaviest.
The KTM will most probably be the most expensive to maintain?? Not too sure on seat height and weight(wet).

Your advise will be highly appreciated.

You picked the worst to choose between...

Honda, yes
Yamaha, yes
Ktm, yes

Like I said, its the worst selection to choose between. I'd take any one of them

Honda has no aftee sale service, but extremely reliable.
Yamaha has both, but way over priced
Ktm is a headache to start with, but the raw power and flexibility always makes you smile.

To build into a Ralley look bike. Go ktm
If you want a more relaxed touring type bike. Go honda
If you want a bike to be a bike for no mods. Go Yamaha.

Good luck

I would go for the XR, cost much less and have the same amount of fun

I have the XT660 Ten, so can only comment on this one. I am 178cm tall(short) 78kgs dry, and find the bike very high, it's better now that I softened the suspension back to the factory settings so I can now almost put my feet flat. When walking the bike backwards it's still a bit of a problem. BUT, I love the bike and just still need to learn to ride it properly in the rougher terain as I was used to MX bike weight, but I think for shorter people it might be a problem.

Thanks ZK!

Does any one know where I can test drive a demo on the Tenere in Cape town region? Dealers don't have demo's.

Nice! Welkom eks ook maar nuut in die XTz Club maar love nou my bike, moes so bietjie gewoond raak aan die gewig en die hoogte, maar ek het die suspension net terug na std toe gestel en dis nou baie beter!
