Thanks, that's kind of what I thought, I've never found them very appealing if I'm honest.
Will get some 70:30 tyres and with a range extender tank should let us go anywhere. KTM/Husaberg seem to have most of the market covered. The only road sections we have planned are from my friends house to the train in Nairobi and then an hour ride to Malinda from Mombasa when we get to the other end. After that it'll mainly be rough road/trail and some motorbike safari.

Go for the KTM if you’re going to be doing more dirt than road. A v-Strom or similar will be a horrible handful on loose dirt and will likely break if you drop it. KTM will just be a bit vibey on long road stretches.
