What bike to get?

I have to go to a meeting now, but heres a few things:

I love the offroadability (sp) of the Katoom

I love going hard offroad, more technical the better. I am not yet a speedfreak offroad. (sitting at 180-200 plus is dangerous offroad)

I love comfort. The KTM provides better wind coverage than the Dakar, and protection, but not like the 1200GS I understand it.

I am not doing that long a trips at the moment into the woestyn. At the moment, the longest trip I did was 3500 odd kays over 10 days.

I love dealer service, we know who wins that department.

You have all seen my pics what I do I think. What bike is best. And oh yes, I want to use it for commutting too.

One afternoon of Plattekloof delight next to the refinery is enough to cure you of cages for life (took me 35mins to cover 2 kilometers at 630pm, no accidents or roadworks or holdups. Pure traffic).

And looks are important to me.

The best looking bikes are the SEnduro and the 1200ADV GS and the 1150 ADV GS imo.

Of course then the 950 S (blue GO!!!!) model is very pretty too.

Hmmmmmm
