I am in the market for a new second hand bike,  F series 800 or the Adv....my inseam length is 88cm.

So which one should I have a look at - must be tallest of the 2 I suppose -  as comparison the Standard Seat Height is 35.0 inches the Adv 34.6 inches - Does the 1cm really makes that much of a difference. I did sat on an Adv model and felt very comfortable have not tested the standard model

I dont know BMW at all and now I have read a whole lot and got too much info - now there are comfort package's, enduro package's, active package's, ASC,ESA doesn't that come as a standard on both....what the hell I'm confused
I just want the option for ABS on/off
To be able to get about 350km range from a fuel tank
Must have some descent suspension that can eat up the gravel roads
Have no clue what to decide on - I sourced a nice ADV 2014 model fully kitted for touring with 14k km for R118k - Do I need it or will  the Std bike be just as good.
