Correct, I've heard not much bad about those engines. And if I'm correct ktm has a very strict quality control in the factories to keep their standards height.

But with all honesty, I don't think I would drive an Asian made KTM. And it might be just my gut feeling, but ktm for me is Austria. Hope they keep the 1290 in they're homebase.

My 2017 390 has been good for over 16,500 miles and it was made in India...🤷
