Simple really Bob,
the Superduke has no weather protection, luggage etc , the Supermoto is a fantastic bike and i was really tempted BUT and its a BIG but , the Adv gives me so much more than any other bike i have ever owned, and the word that best discribes it is "Presence", she is big, Orange and loud. But she is also comfortable exciting and thanks to the idiot at KTM who said Charlie and Ewan would not get round the world she is still fairly rare.
I have tried her off road ,but for me she is just too big and heavy.
I have fitted the tubless rims so that i can get some more road bias rubber onto her ( also to lower the bike a tad as well )as the wife and I tend to spend a fair bit of time abroad on the bikes.
I have a great DRZ that comes out most weekends so i can go and play in the mud( dust at the moment ) leaving the Adv for the long runs and camping etc.
Thanks for asking the question Bob as it has made me think about how much the Adv does for me , it ticks most of the boxes that i needed ticking .
