IMO, the two cannot really be compared - The XT has 47 (ish) BHP, the KTM has 63bhp, I have followed one before on the road and i got smoked pretty badly on the straights, however - I did have one thing on him - cornering...whether it is a heavier bike and more difficult to lie down in corners or whether he was just a poor rider i dont know.
Would be interesting to see if anyone has ridden the two bikes though!
