I'm so loving tempted by this thread, I'm waiting for an insurance claim to come through on my stolen CBR600, so when I get the money I may have to get a DRZ or KTM 690. I've been a sucker for the KTM's after going out riding with a couple of friends who both rode KTM supermoto's and they looked more fun than anything I've seen so far. They sound awesome and I remember being at the lights behind my one friend and getting a face/mouth full of his exhaust, because the 690's exhaust is conveniently placed and angled to fire gobs of carbon monoxide in a 6ft tall sports bike rider's face. Anyway I ride a lot, not long distance trips but I commute every day and I'm always on the bike just riding for the hell of it, and I'm wondering bad in comparison to the DRZ a KTM will be consumable/maintenance wise with very regular use (I do about 6-8000 miles a year)? I'm definitely going to get a test ride on them both sometime this week though.

I test rode a DRZ today, it was fun, but it didn't have enough grunt for my liking. It was the easiest bike I've ever ridden though, even more so than the bikes I did my test on and this is probably why I felt it was a bit lacking as I felt I could've handled more. Anyway my friend has a KTM 660 he's looking to get sell, he already has a 525, so I'm gonna give that a test ride soon and I can't loving wait.
