I've narrowed it down to two choices: bmw 1200gs or the ktm 990 adventure. I was just wondering if anyone had advice on which too choose or other ideas. As I carry a pillion obviously it needs to have plenty of punch.
Cheers

And what was this "massive rate", and under what riding conditions?? That's an FI engine made to fit Euro3-emission norms, and it does not have a reputation for being very thirsty. Making modifications could also affect consumption.
All large capacity engines can sip a little fuel, if you keep the throttle wide open, though.
