I can add some input into the ktm1290r. I have had mine now for a year. Love it over all. However something's not to love. Dealer support sucks really bad. Columbus area only have wheels Motorsports and well the hours that they are open the over all help they offer are all much to be desired. Also upgraded the exhaust and ktm has told all dealers not to remap the motorcycles anymore. They had a built in map to keep the bikes from running lean. You can not access this anymore.
Also as in running this bike at high speeds just go and get the bigger steering stabilizer now. The superduke gets really shitty over 120 and you will feel a different type of beast coming out of it. More like a wild animal trying to throw you off it's back.
Price on them. I got an unsold 2015 in 2016 for 13,500. With tax and title your a little over 14,000. I would do it over again million times over. Really am hopeful that iron pony of Columbus becomes a ktm dealer that would help a lot.
