Was looking at the new 1290R, are they that bad?
The engine is good but it was uncomfortable and the handling is not what I expected after all the hype. , the anti dive to be honest works but not as the Bm does it so it’s more of a compromise. The whole bike seems a bit cheap , but that’s Ktm for you . They make great off road bikes mind .
I could not change as it would be a down grade in so many departments, but the engine is powerful but found it lacking in the ability to put it to good use thro the chassis . Only 2 hr ride but it never got better and like I said before was glad you get back and on the Bm again as it’s a better bike . If you like to get a rush on the straights it’s the bike for you .
