I have 110,000 km on my KTM 690. I've been to 40 countries with it now and she is still going.
The 50% offroad will be very very enjoyable if you have a light bike with a 21 inch front tire. I try to run a knobby like a TKC 80 in the front and a travel tire like a K60 scout in the rear. Its a great balance of traction and longevity.

That's very good point and actually I convinced myself today on practice plaza with big suzuki 650 which weighted around 200kg that I don't want so heavy bike. Especially top heavy like this suzuki. On offroad situation probably the less weight the better. I don't want to be squeezed by the machine.
I wonder what range you're getting out off this ktm? looks like nice bike BTW,
but is it really ok for very long trips, eventually Morocco etc?
