This one flew under the radar in the USA with bigger and faster bikes making the headlines. But even back then I thought the 600's were fat pigs and I yearned for fun lightweight bikes.

I got my road racing license on a SRX600 and raced it for a few years with a local cycle shop.
Fun bike, slow, but I never rode it on the street.
Actually saw a SRX250 the other day. First one I'd seen. That was even more unusual than the 600.
Your KTM would definitely be a fun single. I have nothing against small singles (I have XRs and CRFs) but the 390 doesn't doesn't do it for me.
I've always thought a DR650 Supermoto looked like fun.
