Does the KTM990 tromp the DL1000

@MrForrestfire1 I've not rode the ktm superduke but have ridden both ktm supermoto and the ktm adventure 990. Ktm supermoto was a great laugh but I don't fancy touring europe on it. The adventure was sharper than v strom handling wise but no more fun on the road. I was glad to get back on my V strom *!:? the fashion victims it's a brilliant bike. Ktm superduke does tromp the dl 1000 in the twisties.

@ktmmeltdownage I've never ridden the Ktm superduke but boy did I enjoy the ktm supermoto for a short blast. Quicker reving than v strom and you could throw it into any blind corner. V strom slow reving but still very punchy, fun and all day comfortable, A bit vague at the front though that its worst point even with back end jacked up.
