That's fair enough.
So, the smaller KTMs are out of the reckoning I would surmise - no one would want to ride pillion (+ luggage) on, say, a 690.
Buying new perhaps?

If not new, then ---
I also had a 990 Adv (2008 year) for about 18 months - it was not totally trouble free either; the main reservation I had was when the rear brake faded after "heavy use" riding for some hours on Alpine passes.
I could get about 57 MPG (UK gallon, not that teeny weeny US version of the gallon), going easy on the throttle.
But the tank is quite small really for the size of the bike and it's V twin engine = I never got more than 190 miles between fills of the tanks.
The new big KTMs:-
I don't know. I thought about test riding them but haven't quite got around to it.
Nor is there much in the HUBB about these newer models - that may be a good sign?
