Eric, But did you even try the Hondas? i'm sure KTMs are good and you loved the way it handles but, I think you should test ride all (Hondas, BMWs, Yamaha, Suzuki) before making the decision if that is possible.
I'm saying this because i've heard CBR is the best 1L bike to ride. though i have absolutely no hands on experience. regards, Kapil [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
