Got rid of my KTM 790 Adventure R and replaced it with an Aprilia Tuareg 660. KTM was very fun to ride but a combination of poor dealer/manufacturer support made me lose confidence in it. The KTM took me places where I needed to have confidence it would get me home. After my experience with the valve/cam issue, that confidence was just not there anymore. So......we will see. The Tuareg has a pretty good rep for reliability and has been out for 2 years. I haven't got any miles on it yet so I am anxious to see if it works in the back country. I don't expect it to be as capable in the very rough stuff but I am getting too old for that anyway.
