Are KTM worth the money?

Could you please elaborate on whether KTM motorcycles are indeed worth the investment they demand? I'm considering purchasing one but am hesitating due to the significant cost. Are their performance capabilities, durability, and overall riding experience truly superior to other brands in the same price range? Additionally, how does their resale value compare to competitors? Is there a significant difference in terms of maintenance costs and frequency compared to other motorcycles? Lastly, do KTM owners generally feel satisfied with their purchase, or are there common complaints or issues that arise? Thank you for your insight.
