p.s. I will be getting a Triumph Speed Triple RR this coming January for local rides but, the lack of wind/rain/cold protection and questionable saddle bag solutions means it won't see more than simple overnight trips with a small backpack in most cases. I have a KTM 450-XCW for real off-road use and my 2007 KLX-250S is being retired.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. . 450 watts max. . At 160hp (118kW), with a semi-active suspension and Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), it has all you need to complete a sport motorcycles of any description. The generational change becomes apparent at the first glance, mainly because of the 1290 Super Adventure Sās striking new front.
I see and read things about the R model's 21" wheel being very flighty and very small contact patch, even mentions of speed wobbles. I've never had a road going bike with a 21" front before. All my experience is with 17" or 19" fronts. I have Bridge stone A41's on my 19" caponord and they are great in the dry and wet on road.
