Aren't the R and the Rallye supposed to be both marks primo off road bikes in this class? There are far better road bikes than both of them but that's not what these bikes are supposed to be about.
The KTM 'R' is very usable off road, as in they are a great big dirt bike. The suspension is high quality and manually adjustable, they handle just like a (heavy) dirt bike and the electronics work very well indeed off road.
The GS is a road bike that can go off road, it's not an off road bike, it's a very different beast. The Rallye has slightly longer travel suspension but, other than that, would seem to be just a marketing exercise to appeal to those that want a different coloured GS and/or like the 'image' of a big off road bike but don't want the real thing.
