BMW F650GS vs KTM 640 LC Adventure
I,m trying to figure out what bike to buy. I plan to drive North Africa (and some of Sahara) one-up, and are unsure what bike to pick. I have a lot of riding experience, but very little offroad. My technical capability is also quiet limited. When I read about KTM, I,m left with the impression that they are great bikes, but perhaps not very reliable. They apperantly also need to have their valves adjusted every 6000 km (wich might be a problem riding around in Africa). Looking at the BMW F650GS Paris Dakar, and the comments on this web, I get the impression that its a rather heavy bike and perhaps not so reliable either.. That german quality never reached as far as the F650GS.
What would be the best choice ...?
