Go with your heart and your gut instinct. as JMo stated elsewhere something along the lines of : if you really want it get it as long as you are happy then who cares what anyone else/magazines think
I think I would also look at V strom and the new G650GS or has that just given you more to contemplate.
The KTM does look great in the Orange/Blue livery
If you are going well off the beaten track I would'nt consider any of the bikes and I would go for something much lighter. Unless you have long legs the Ten is still heavy off road. hey you can take them anywhere but if you go lighter you will have more fun and be less tired when you get there.
WR450, KTM 450 ?????? with bigger fuel tanks
