I owned a 2017 Africa Twin that I poured a ton of money into. I am currently riding my 7th KTM, a 2016 Super Duke 1290 R. Given my experience with the Honda and an assortment of KTMs and Husqvarnas, I would go for the KTM 1090 of the three you listed. The Honda after extensive mods still committed the cardinal sin for motorcycles (for me).
Buy the Africa Twin. In the low seat position, it will easily accommodate a 30” inseam. They are a very capable bike and actually have great manners on road. Simple design. I’m actually a orange blooded KTM guy (I own a 1090R and 300xc) but rented an AT for a 3 week trip in South America. It was a great bike. No wind buffeting. No leaky rims.
The 1190R was about $1500 more and the AT was only $500 less (but no gear). With the $1500 I saved vs the R, I bought heated grips ($135), KTM crash bars ($350), a set of TKC 80's ($300), KTM tank protection tape ($30) and a Black Dog Cycle Works skid plate. Vs the Africa Twin: 1) Performance!
