hehe... "as high as" - try 25% here in Denmark. :-(

US is cheaper. Get an idea of the difference, checking out www.ktm-versand.de and compare prices to your average US dealer.

No worries

A hard ridden bike with 90.000 km's on the clock that still only uses 0.3 l per 1000 kms is nothing to worry about at all. Good, actually.
Especially as KTM states that it is normal.

If it is brand new then it's covered by warranty. Stop worrying and call the dealer, it should be his worry.

OK idle, but no pulling power and dying out, could maybe be a faulty ignition coil.
