Your sample, of course, is biased by virtue of your location. Probably you'd draw the same conclusions in North Africa. In North, Central and South America I think you'd find more Kawasakis and Suzukis, much the same number of Yamahas, somewhat fewer BMW's and far fewer KTM's. This might explain the distribution in the poll results.....or not.
I'm sure not taking any sort of position on the very dodgy subject of which brand is more suited to what sort of journey. I'm just noticing how different my observations are from yours, perhaps because I've been traveling in different places.
Of course the next post will probably be from somewhere in South America by a rider who sees only BMW's and KTM's wherever he/she looks.
enjoy,
Mark
