So this winter I'm likely replacing my exploring motorcycle (KLR650) and I'm likely going to upgrade to one of the bikes above.
I'm sort of leaning toward the 800gs vs the 990 because those are more dual purpose capable and lighter. But the 1200GS adventure is so nice- but it's more expensive and harder to justify because I'm a tightass. Every time I visit the local shop though- a Triumph Tiger is staring at me...sort of a dark horse in the running.
And I don't want a Ducati or sportbike of any other make- my bike hits the dirt. Thoughts?

If you want more than a small amount of dirt, get the KTM. If you want mostly street, get the F800. If you want to cruise with lots of stuff strapped to your bike so you look like an adventure rider, get the GSA.
p.s. I own both a KTM and a BMW FGS and the BMW is just not in the same league as a KTM off road. The KTM is much more difficult to maintain and isn't nearly as nice of a road bike as the BMW. Pick your poison.
