My thoughts were based upon the state of play existing at the time - 2004- and not based only on the engines ultimate mileage potential.
Today things have changed, and for the same reasons I would probably back an 1190 over a 1200.

But anyway, hey............how easy to become a troll, without actually meaning to!

They did it on Beemers and they completed each trip. Maybe KTM would have made it as well, but we would never know because KTM themselves thought their bikes would fail...enough said...

Look, this is neither defending one brand, nor bashing another, just my unbiased opinion, honestly. I really think that if the lads had been mounted on KTM's - superior dirt handlers though they may be - they just wouldn't have been tough enough to go the distance.
It's a case of horses for courses, and those 1150 dreadnoughts were the better horse for that particular course at that time, though even one of them didn't make it. And I would have my doubts about present day 1200's - all plastic and gimmicks.
No, I reckon that had they been on KTM's at the time, then the trip would have had to be completed on three Russian 2-Smokes.
You quite done talking kak now, had a BMW sponsored muffin and late??
My 990 has over 120 000 km's on it, most of it off road, Mark Hardy's 950 has even more on it. Google is your friend, best you do some research on both brands and the issues.

Ja maar nie jy of Mark laai 290kg se kak ook nog op die bike nie, laai die ding soos 'n Qua-qua bakkie en doen die trip dan praat ons weer.
Luister nou badprop, die punt wat die muffin vreeter gemaak het was oor die myle ...... daai twee het anyway nooit daai kak gelaai of saam gery nie, daar is n X5 en n Nissan Patrol wat saam gery het.
Lees die hele verhaal, moet nie soos iemand wees wat 7de Laan kyk nie.

hey watch it buddy...my vrou kyk 7de laan

I have been watching their latest ride; Long Way Up. This they did on Electric Harley's, that were created for this trip and 2 Rivian Trucks, both Prototypes; 01 & 02.

I like their camaraderie and interaction. I reckon Harley Davidson's electric bike, Livewire, is about to take off. Not an HD fan, but they did a decent job on these bikes. There were many challenges to overcome with the R&D of both the Trucks and Bikes, but hats off to both companies for having the guts to attempt this and do it well.

Charlie has overcome some serious setback in the past couple of years and took on the challenge, despite these.

Thank you for that site - but does one have to do something special to get it to work, to watch anything?
I only get a message "Server Error" hence me asking....

KTM wisely declined team whiner as they do not want to be associated with those sorts.

After all, people hanging out with BMW's and E-Harleys? Voertsek, KTM told them.
