forgot to mention this is just for North America so if you happen to be shipping some stuff in a container from South America, maybe you can bring over an R?
What's going to interest me most is how many will change the tires out for something else? Some people out here buy a bike of a certain capability but don't stretch it out in the way intended or tailor it to their personal needs, instead riding it however in whatever situation they're in.Honestly the KTM 1090 R can perform on road too, just need a less knobby set of tires and you're golden. KTM probably thought people were more likely going to buy the R model instead of the base model. Why ship over something that won't sell in volume? It's fine by me as the R model can do double duty as a city ride and for those off road weekends.
that's what I found out as wellHeard the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II is a good all rounder tyre unless you plan to do some hard off road riding.
