Lights on the 1090/1190 are good, not great. Better than 990.
Try and stay away from spotlights unless it’s absolutely imperative for your night riding.
on a bike used for commuting, I accept the offroad vulnerability of spots, in exchange for my visibility to cagers
Fair 
But IF you don’t commute as a rule, give them a skip.
Baie geluk met die nuwe Bike JK!
Renrew, why do you suggest giving the spots a miss?
I normally end up running late, and on the back roads past townships etc I find they can be a life saver in the dark because they give a wider spread allowing you to see that drunkard/cow/goat/donkey before it wonders into the road. Passing through Maseru after sunset will prove my point to anyone that doubts it.
Especially on a bike like the 9/10/11/1290 as they are not exclusively used for offroad riding, there will always be stretches done on the blacktop between cars, so being seen is just as important as being able to see.
I would also be interested to know where guys mount spots on the 1X90s, as I am not convinced of the SW Motech under-the-headlight-mounting system. I have already read of one case on ADV Rider where a guy dropped the bike, and the mount caused considerable damage to the headlight housing.
