And I certainly am taking into account how I'd use it! I'm a few months away from the dreaded 1/2-century mark, and feel I'm a little too old to be learning how to ride over fallen trees, etc. Fireroads will be MORE than enough challenge for me!but i must say, for those people suggesting the F800GS over the 990 adventure you will need to take into account the trips you will be taking with it. If you will ever be getting into REALLY rough stuff or even on the mildly rough stuff, the KTM will vastly outperform the bmw. It is just a million times better off road than the bmw.
For on the road comforts and handling though the BMW fares better.
