You didn't mention what types of subjects you want to photograph. Long lenses frequently get used for birds-in-flight and sports, where burst speed is important, but they can also be used for other subjects. ere are my thought on several Pentax APS-C models:
K-70. This is the budget choice. It's still a decent, weather-sealed body, but not as rugged as the K-1. The K-70 is not merely a beginner camera. Image quality is excellent.
KP. This is like a slightly better K-70 in terms of features. The KP and K-70 cameras are IMO so similar in terms of image quality that your decision between those 2 might come down to form factor; the KP is smaller.
K-3ii. This is Pentax' fastest APS-C burst speed and largest buffer capacity for action photography. It's also more rugged (but the KP and K-70 are not bad). K-3ii is discontinued so you might have to buy used. Note that if low light / high ISO quality is important to you the K-70 and KP are better in that regard.
K-5. Someone mentioned that. I think the K-5 is not a good companion to the K-1; you can just use the K-1 in crop mode and you'll get similar pixel density and better image quality. The K-5 is okay as a backup but there's nothing that it does better than K-1, except be a little smaller.
