yeah I am not in the position to buy a hyper right now because I am in the market for two bikes, with one being a long tripper. I will probably end up with something like a DRZ SM as the second bike.

but how does it compare to the KTM? I think the KTM would be the better all around choice... especially for long trips with A... and a grill and the refrigerator and freezer on either side.
