Go with the lightest one...
Well, George will know that after his experience on the MotoGuzzi... Jerome is travelling on his KTM now for 3 years with some heavy experience, I met him in Chile and you should check out his website If he forwards it to you. I myself rode down from Alaska on the KTM 640 and when you have to lift it up in the mud every kilo is too much. Next time I will vote for a smaller bike (like George said), a Japanse one because of spare parts coverage and it must have a kickstarter as well. At the end I chose the KTM 640 and it got me down the road, but when you need spare parts you heavily rely on the airfreight out of Miami, Germany (KTM Sommer is the biggest and best dealer in the world) or elsewhere.
