most of my riding will be around central london but fancied some light touring around ireland,wales and norfolk two up
the touring is a bit of a pipe dream as i am not sure the missus is up for it although i will go it alone if necessary
in the main its going to be a bit of a toy really but its still a hard decision so alll advice would be gratefully recieved
thanks

Taking you at face value by saying it's going to be a toy buy the KTM just make sure you have a few bob in the bank to back it up because you may need it,I have never managed to force feed myself a 680 SMCR because having seen so many KTM's that have eaten themselves it's like have a hand grenade without the pin and the excitement that can bring.
If your looking for an easy life buy the XT but it'll be nowhere near as much fun or pain as the Ktoom.
