Once you get to know your way round a KTM twin, Super Enduro or otherwise, it's easy enough to self service, bar the valve clearances & carbys. Make a few mods, luggage, screen, whatever. Service it often, don't thrash it and reliability wont be an issue, bar the fuel pump, easy enough to carry a spare and it takes 15 minutes to change. Finding a V Twin under 150kgs alone without the rest of your requirements is and you probably know, asking the impossible. Compromise a little and you might just find yourself on something unique, capable & collectable if you go for a SE.
PS. After getting round on a Pan European, a KTM 950SE will feel like a 250!
