    Go and ride them both. Buy the one that you like best.

    Easy.

    Efe emerged from their own little world to say
    I've only ridden the BMW. If you are going to commute on it or go on long
    trips then get the BMW. It will cope with both. BMWs have 6000 mile service
    intervals and the F650 will go on for ever. The bike is dull though.

    If you'll only use it for blatting about then get the Duke. I reckon it
    will be much more fun with its stickier tyres and super-motard pedigree. It
    will depreciate more and'll probably fall to bits. A mate has a KTM enduro
    bike and is not impressed with the quality control. 35" seat height might
    make me think twice.

    So, do as Pip says. Ride them both and decide which one fits your taste and
    circumstances.

    You started with the above and I was about to take issue...

    until I read this:
    As fucking dishwater. I nearly died of boredom on a 360mile round trip
    to Snetterton a couple of years back.
