Whats important to you ?
I love KTMs and but I own a DR650SE. I think it is safe to say that almost all bikes are reliable to a point if serviced and loved in the right way. But some will take more of a beating than others.
For me bike choice is about budget, reliability, comfort, simplicity of repair and availability of parts. You can get used to almost any bike on a trip, some will be more fun than others, some will be faster than others. What is your trip about fun, getting from POI to POI as fast as possible, getting there without the need for a massage to recover ?
I personally would go with the DR as it seems more universal. But I also understand that there issues with getting that model up there.
Cheers
