Hi Guys

I am currently (latest next spring) looking for a new (in my possesion) Bike to get.

I will need the Bike mostley in West-Europe. But there is a trip in planning next Summer that will take East-Europe and round the Black Sea.
I am not an offroad Person, means as long there is something like a road i will take that and if there is non i will turn around. But something like a road means it is a road, but can be in bad condition too...

In 2014 i hope i can get 4 month of work and intend to do a Trip to Japan. If possible through Pakistan - India - Nepal - China. Well still far away so anything possible ;-)

As wil use the Bike most in the Alps i like to get something with torque.

Currently I am looking at following Bikes:

• Triumph Tiger 800 (XC)
• Triumph Tiger Explorer (XC)
• Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere
• KTM 990 Adventure
• KTM 119 Adventure

I think all the Bikes can handle the mostly on road and my "off" Road needs as gravel, sandy roads maybe also fire roads.

Which leeds me to my Question. How are youre experiences about the Reliability of the different Brands. Means how easy is it to get a Mechanic to fix these Machines and if needed get the additional parts either by import or better over a local Dealer Network.
Mostly intrested in th Areas for my longer Trip so Iran, Pakistan, India, China

Thanks and hope oyu guys enjoy all your rinding :-)
