>>2295269I bought a KTM950 Super enduro after growing up riding technical trails on a crf250r and owning a few different ~400cc bikes. If you want to ride mostly on the road and occasionally check out a dirt road here and there I'm sure you'll enjoy the 1290 but if you plan on riding offroad in any serious capacity I would encourage you to choose something lighter and more managable, especially if you are an inexperienced rider
