I rode an 1150 Adventure back in 03-04 and I didn't like it but saying that ,at the time I was an avid KTM supporter I can't really remember what it was like now......

I rode an 1150gs then waited until the 1200gs came out. This was 2004 I think. I had ridden a few different  dual sport bikes and had been told to wait until the 1200 BM was available before buying anything. Up until that ride I was sold on the Triumph Tiger. This didn't change once I rode the GS. I also don't get the whole BMW thing. I don't like the opposed engine characteristics, but would look at an 800gs now. I think these and the 800 Tigers would be the best. Each to their own. Ride them all and work it out for yourself.
Cheers

Honda 50 stepthru, pretty shitfull all round but cheap ta run.  Think this way if you added all the previous mentioned bikes above that have been sold, the total most likely would still  be about 30 Million .... less than the chuckaway   sorry  50 steppy.  (ever tried to carry seven family members ,five bags of rice ,two pigs and a live cobra or two plus a couple of buckets of     yuk whatever.. all at once on a BMW.. you all have seen the photos of stepthrus doing that ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
