KTM 950 SE
Thinking of replacing my KTM 950SE with 800 XCX and would appreciate some opinions on the Triumph by owners who have some km under the belt on the 800, a short test ride counts for little. My concerns are:
a) Does it handle more than dirt track ie rocky/rough inclines/declines
b) Is ground clearance sufficient for more than dirt track
c) Does the tall first gear present a problem
d) Will it handle the occasional pillion well, from a space/comfort point of view
e) How is Triumph support in SA, from a availability of spares point of view

Accept it cannot compete with 950SE off-road but circumstances have changed, your views will be appreciated
