I commute 80 miles per day. I love KTM brand and would like to get one for my commute. Any recommendations?

I was excited 2 years ago to buy an Aprilia 125 supermoto style bike. I got to the point where I was about to go and make the purchase.
I thought living in rural wales I could potentially get away with first year riding on a brand new bike as the insurance wouldn’t be that high...
Well I was very wrong. My Dad rang me just as I was about to head down the bike dealership and told me to get some insurance quotes for it... 1800 pound for first year and the bike was 3100.
I quickly informed the guys at the shop that I won’t be buying it.
Ended up getting a 2015 Yamaha 125r and halved the cost.
As the title says. Not after the SAE connection, I’ve got one of those. I need the mains plug to plug into the device to get it power.
Literally nothing from google or eBay.
I’ll be giving Oxford a ring tomorrow but any heads up would be great!
Hope you all have a nice Sunday 👍
So I went for a cruise round some twisties after work. I was having an amazing time, felt like my cornering has improved a lot since my last non-commute ride.
Anyway, I’m on a bendy road but it was open and wide. I end up behind a big wagon. I played it very safe and couldn’t see any possible point of overtaking. So I stuck behind the wagon.
A round about approaches an for some reason I thought it opened to two lanes so go along his right hand side. He doesn’t indicate and I quickly realise I’m in a tight situation as it didn’t open to two lanes just slightly wider single.
I decide due to no approaching vehicles to our right to accelerate. Possibly the right thing to do, maybe not. Either
You're letting bots win, time for all games to die I guess.
So I went out on my newly put together ride, bars are epic, setup feels great. But the chain kept coming off along with the cranks moving say 1/6th of a rotation before the hub responded. I've taken the rear wheel off and if feels loose or as though it's worn but I can't say. Anyone know of any decent YouTube vids to check out or have any advice regarding this? Cheers
Any websites or particular models to check out would be very helpful.
What is with everywhere not having any NS bikes handlebars in stock either!
Please stay safe and make sure you get home in one piece. Not the praying type but will be saying one tonight for you North American truckers.
From the UK I salute you legends!
Anyone have experience with these? Seen a few online, just wondering what parts would fit.
As the title says, I've seen posts from places in India where they've done it, not so much in the UK, US or EU.
I love the looks of the crf250 rally an want to change the suspension an tyres so it more suited to the road.
