Would be interesting.
I bet it's about 5kg lighter, not much more.
I don't see the suspension of the Trophy being different from the standard GS. However the Adventure and the upcoming Rally has more suspension travel. Imho wait for the Rally if you are considering the 1190. Apparently it will be here soonish.
As much as I would like that. It will cost to much for me. Plus I do actually want to try out an 1190. I have always had a perception that they are unreliable, but recently see that that is not necessarily true plus my BMW's wasnt exactly super reliable anyhow.
And then also, I cant keep bashing KTM without first hand experience.... 
I love the bikes KTM makes. On paper they are exactly the bikes of love to own. I've ridden a bunch of KTM's 390, lots of 690's a 990 and a 950.. Have a few mates who had/has them as well. I even owned a 2stroke XC-W, and was close to owning a 690 - haven't done the 1190 though. Make no mistake, they were all fantastic to ride. If I had loads of cash I'd have 5 or 6.
Imho the 1190R and the upcoming 1090 R will be absolutely awesome.......to ride.
