One of my friends has an 1150GS and another has a KTM Adventure. The
GS rider has always maintained that with the proper tires they would
be comparable. Last week they "explored" some back roads that were
pretty tough. The GS dumped in the road 5 times and finally piched
off the side down an 8ft. drop off. The KTM never was challenged.
Was it the bikes or was it the riders? It was both. There are people
who could ride a Ducatti on the White Rim trail. Pick any off road
terain. Put the same rider on a GS and then on the Adventure (or the
KLR) and I'm certain he/she will ride better and more comfortably on
the smaller bike.

#2 should read: "He who dies with the most toys WINS!(Still dies)"
