Have a KTM950SM that I have been using on some lanes up and around Derbyshire, it's still got 17's on with sticky road tyres and it feels ok on the dirt. However I also have access to an 800GS so took that for the same trip recently, it's standard and fitted with Avon distanzia's.
I expected it to be a lot better on the dirt but I couldn't have been more wrong, it felt heavier and the front followed every rut. In comparison the front of the KTM never entered my mind and never moved despite being on fat road tyres.
It's left me wondering why the BMW felt so bad.
Anyone else took their off road and how did you find it ?, I'm only average off road but the KTM felt a lot easier to use which is not how I planned it LOL
