earthmover said:Depends what you want from an off-roader.
Written service schedules mean nothing, KTM's or Yamaha's alike will eat valves and cylinder heads if they are run too long out of tolerance, neither will be cheap to repair. Any half decent spanner twiddler can check valve clearances in half an hour (me for instance!)
The Yam will be more stable at speed than the equivalent KTM, but the KTM will corner better. KTM's suspension will as a rule, be harder than that of the Yam, but for a days green laning that could be too harsh.
The Yam "feels" heavier, despite there being little in it on the scales, more top heavy, possibly.
One's blue, the others orange. Yam plastics fade and look sh*te very quickly, but that doesn't affect how they ride!
You pays your money....
