[Terry NW]

i'm looking at either the

KTM, BMW GS, and triump tiger

road both the gs and the tiger...........happy with both .
i've seeen tigers with 55000 plus on the clocks and the bikes look ok for it.
i've seen Bmw with loads more on them

[Deadskin]

why you say ditto

Ah
Well it's a long story but to cut it short,
sold 1150 bought 950,
ktm dealer did 1st service messed up a couple of things including
stripping the wheels with pro clean then takng 4 weeks to fix,not replace
just re anodise.
Contacted ktm who reckoned that the dealer was doing me a favour
in the end the anodising turned out better than before but the
damage had been done.
I'm now back with bmw, better local service

The 950's not a bad bike but having a decent local dealer is a must.

Gates,

Could you name and shame the said KTM dealer???? It is my biggest concern with the brand, I have been using CW Motorcycles in Dorchester who are brilliant, they also own Sideways Motorcycles down the road , are they as good?.

Sorry i don't understand the question

if you mean which bike was better, the 1150 of course
and my 1200 is faster
