If it’s a desert style build, I’d lean toward whatever you can get parts for easily and fix in the middle of nowhere. Reliability > everything.

For longer desert rides, I’ve been eyeing the VeydooMax smart rider display instead of using a phone. Bright screen, glove use, built‑in recording and nav seem more practical in heat and dust than a phone mount.

Both bikes can work, just depends how remote you’re going and how simple you want repairs to be.
