Re: Austria 1
The whole trip was 7900 Km. Rode through Swiss, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria.
Had only once a flat Tyre in Albania, but I had everything to fix it. It was not a problem at all. No breakdowns at all.
About KTM
Pros
Lots of Power & Torque
Excellent for Offroad ( Did 130 Km offroad in Albania & 60 Km in Bulgaria). One could ride with good confidence on Offroad
Very responsive in gear shifting.
Too much fun to ride the bike.
Cons
High fuel consumption ( ranges from 6/100 Km (Asphalt) & 7 liters/ 100Km (Offroad)) . Too much for a adventure Travel Motorbike
Tank Capacity is only 20 liters and fuel range is only 300 Km. (Too less for a travel adventure motorcycle)
Very complicated ( to reach the spark plugs, one has to dismantle half of the motorbike)
For changing Oil one has to spend half a day.
Too much of electronics
Every machine has its PRO's and CONS's but considering the fun to ride a KTM, its worth to take the pain of maintaining the Bike.
But if i ever go for a ride in Africa, I wont prefer to take a KTM.Comment

Thanks for sharing, your log was yet another daily dose of inspiration. Anyway I'm almost there with a german license and a Tenere.
