But I’m a little wary of ending up stuck IF something breaks and CCM spares are likely to be harder to come by than one of the bigger manufacturers...
Have just been reading about the new KTM 390 Adventure and that might be just the ticket...
But going for a new bike then means that Carnet Deposit is significantly bigger too.

The 390 Duke is pretty affordable, brand new here at the bike shop they were less than $5000, but sadly a 390 A is not in the cards, at least for this year...
The KTM corner at the bike shows was pretty disappointing.. Not a mention of a 390 A, and the 790 A is still only a concept bike... I am fed up with the manufacturers focus on the Fat Pig adventure bikes... Overweight, overpriced, overpowered and fragile has being the trend for too many years now, but I guess as long as they are selling that will continue.. There has been a couple small displacement bikes come {Kawasaki, BMW} out but they are more street focused and likely will not hold up to any amount of off road pounding..
