The KTM 640 Adventure is an amaizing bike. It has everything you need for adventure riding, much better suspension than most bike.
I have a 2004 model. I did the Tuareg Rally in the Sahara with this bike, and this summer I rod it from Ulan Bator to Magadan, through the Western BAM and the Road of bones. 6500km. Only minor problems that were all my fault (lack of preparation). It uses 4-5l/100km with a 25L tank you have a good 500km rang. The side stand is a weak point. The oil change with the 2 filters and the oil in the frame in a pain in the ass. The engine is very viby over 5000 rpm.
Usually I drive between 80 and 100km/h with this bike. With the handelbar risers, I can drive it all day long standy it's so confy.
I wouldn't use it for too much road riding. A GS 650 is better for that. But off road, it's unbeatable.
