26,000 miles on my 1290 SA-T so far but I’ve heard of a 1290 with around 90,000 and handful of 1190s with more than that. If you asked the same Q on a BMW forum there would be loads of people with 100,000+ but there seem to be far more ultra-low mileage KTMs than ultra-high mileage. BMW been around a long long time.
The 1090 only feels top heavy when you are pushing it around. Once rolling the 1090 drops a lot of weight. I haven't looked this up, but the 1090/1190 feels like the steering is much quicker than the 950/990 ADV's.

Assuming the 1290 is similar to my 790, Rally mode let’s you choose the throttle setting. “Rally“ throttle is fun on the street, but very aggressive off-road. I actually prefer “Street” throttle on dirt. The slip setting will cut power as the rear wheel slips, so Slip 9 will reduce the power much sooner than Slip 1.
130. Location: N.E. OHIO. Yes. That's insane. I usually do my own maintenance. Decided to let my dealer do the first oil change on my 2018 1290 SAS. $200.00 And I thought that was high. Decided to change it my self around 5k miles. I know they say it can go much farther than that but figured motor was still breaking in, couldn't hurt.
