Is the KTM 690 SMC R is it worth the premium price over Japanese supermotos?

But compared to the alternatives, Japanese bikes such as the Suzuki DR-Z400SM or Yamaha WR250X, the KTM 690 SMC-R will often be pricier. The price difference has caused such debates in the supermoto world regarding value for money. Advocates of the KTM claim that its price is fair for the high-tech, powerful engine and premium components. Outwardly, they point to features such as ride-by-wire throttle, multiple riding modes, and advanced ABS, for example, when it comes to its superiority. However, fans of Japanese bikes say their machines have better reliability, are less expensive to maintain, and are more affordable for beginner riders. From resale value to the availability of aftermarket parts to the overall riding experience, the conversation continues. The extra performance of the KTM is certainly up for debate for some riders who wonder if the extra performance is needed for street use or if the Austrian bike's performance is worth every penny for others.

Absolutely worth it. In this category, the power and tech you get blow anything from Japan away.
