V4 Multi is too expensive and too techie for me. The 1200 and 1250 GS's though very good bikes are just too "polite" after owning a KTM. I honestly don't know what I'd buy if I wanted a big adventure bike now. I might consider a 1300 GS or a used mint 1260 Multi, but as I've got a 1260 Diavel which I love I don't know I'd want two bikes with the same engine. It's a shame Aprilia didn't revive the Caponord using the V4 Tuono engine. That could have been a very good platform.

I guess I'll be keeping the 1190 for ever now. It's worth little with 60K on the clock and it'll probably drop even more now if people are worried about parts supply in the future.

RIP orange Austrian nutter bikes.

Hello Chinese/Indian monkey bikes.

If you've got a real KTM, a V-twin that delivers a delicious 1950's whiff of oil vapour and has two power settings - flat out and off - hang on to it. It's now a collector's item.

I've been offered a very nice 990 SMT very cheap. 👀
I really don't need these temptations.....
