Superbike Mag 990 vs 800 GS

[Buller]

And, errr, chaps, some of the Country Trax people are also orange now, mmmmmm, now why isthat? 

Maybe cos all the BMW okes been for training and they need NEW customers   

And they might get a lot!
There's quite a trend going on, where you see ex-GS riders turning orange and swearing only by KTM.

But at the end of the day, what do you always see rolling down the streets? BMW Gee Esses, lots of them!

[Just Blip It!]

The reason why there are so many GSs rolling down the road is because of BMWs clever marketing, having the backing of a major car manufacturer, KTM can never match that kind of back-up. 
This doesn't mean that KTM isn't better, the orange revolution is only beginning!!

The difference between a BMW breakdown and a KTM breakdown is that with the BM, only BMW on call can fix it. The KTMs are easy to fix, and most of us can do a quick roadside repair on a KTM, they don't have complicated immobilizer and fuel injection systems that can only be repaired by qualified technicians with expensive diagnostic equipment.

Only reason you see tons of Geen Sands on the road is because the KTMs are on the gravel

Boring, perhaps... but I have yet to meet a guy who owns a 990 Adv and says he'll never do dirt roads with it.

you might be living in the wrong parts of town, there's tons of them on this forum. I personally know a few.

That's the problem with the KTM image you okes have build around it the past few years, and KTM, you now attracks all the wannabees with the powerranger suites.


Dit hap julle nou in die gat, die elite superhardcore dae van KTM is very.  

[plonker]

Don't worry the  1200 Tenere will soon be here and blow all the wannabees away......remember they started the DS craze

[Gravel_Seeker]

You guys take the bait like hungry trout every time, but then again so do we 

The 1200 Tenere should be a beast

Part 2 of the comparative test: Thomas Eich (KTM rider of note) prefered the F800GS to the 990 Adventure.

According to him, the 990 Adventure is getting old now.
