I know it's quite a common question, but I haven't seen a thread about this sensitive issue on Wild Dog. (I didn't look properly though)

So here it is:
Is there anyone on this forum who has owned, or still owns, both R12GS and KTM 990 ADV? And what would be your recomendation, as I am seriously thinking of selling my GS for the 990ADV. I've check a lot of forums from UK, US, and France, who seem to prefer the KTM.

I know that the KTM is more fun and off-road orientated 8) , I tried it on dirt: great bike; while GS is reliable, comfy, mile eater, low maintenance, great service etc...

:?: But what about long term maintenance cost on the KTM, its reliability, or other issues that I should be aware of.

Thanks for your help. I hope this subject is not going to create too much arguments... but rather give some interesting info on two amazing bikes.
