    Smart choice. Even though they have Adv tags both the bikes can't take one to real locations hidden gems because they are not hardcore offroaders. On the other hand X-pulse a real adv to the core. Few more months we may even have X-pulse 300 in the market.

Ktm (with more power and much more advanced features)seat is very well cushioned, not suited for long distance, the suspension too is on the harder side....

    Test rode both of these. Hands down KTM is a better machine. The BMW did not put a smile on my face even when I took the second test ride. You feel that there’s something off with the motorcycle. Hop on the KTM and there’s a big smile on the face😄 The gearing on the BMW is absolute trash, and if you are a motorhead you’ll notice it immediately. The refinement levels are also not good. The machine has no soul to put it one way. I was avoiding the KTM only for how it looks, but once you’re past that, and you know what it is made for, it is an absolute fun bike to own. You can modify it with powerparts in the future to your liking and more! One more thing, the dash on the bmw (the one thing you look at all the time) is nothing compared to the beautiful tft display you have which makes you feel you’re riding something special. Should have been opposite ways but🤷🏻‍♂️

    I don't know if I am right about this, so correct me if I am wrong, here goes: 5:23, 5:34 look at only the bikes. KTM appears to be a bit more jittery than the BMW due to firmer suspension. Since off-roading is focused on traction and control rather than speed, softer suspension which will move easily over uneven surfaces is better. 12:25 Again, look at only the bikes. KTM appears to be planted while the BMW is bobbing up and down due to the softer suspension. Since highway touring involves speeds, firmer suspension which can even out the tiny undulations of the asphalt will be better for a planted traveling experience.

    KTM anyday🔥. Talking about 20k margin. BMW's service will cost you 8.5K , whereas KTM's will cost you around 3-3.5K

    No replacement for displacement. KTM has a bigger advantage in Displacement
