@sirhcskoorb People should not ride bikes they cannot pick up. The logic behind the R1200GS/950/990Adventure etc is a mirror to the logic behind bikes like the XR650R/400/690Enduro. A XR650R is great off-road and will get you anywhere you want to go on-road as well, you will love the dirt but loath the tar. The R12GS is great on-road and will get you anywhere you want to go off-road as well, you will love the tar but loath the dirt. Both go everywhere, but you had better priorities.

BMW's are powered by the sweet smell of their riders' own farts. I hate them almost as much as Harley riders.

Same story as your KLRmovie. My CAGIVA ELEFANT. is faster tougher. And way way way lighter. So im way more enduro then you. And the topspeed is about the same.

@TheGingerlocks The 950 Adventure is a better off-road bike VS the R12GS, although the enduro variant of the R1200GS (The HP2) is generally considered superior to the KTM 950SE with results in competition. But comparing race sub-variants is a bit like comparing factory GP bikes when you next plan on buying a commuter. Thumpers like the DR650SE and the KLR (And XR650R for that matter) win value for money hands down. Hell, even a CT110 would be better for most rider off-road VS the 1200/950.
