Would be interesting to see if anyone has ridden the two bikes though!

Beat me to it, big difference on the bhp. I've not ridden one but they do use top quality components so they are a quality bike whereas an XT is a budget bike really. I don't say that in a negative way, there seems to be some issues with KTMs reliability whereas XTs seem to be bullet proof. Performance is very subjective as I was passing plenty of 600 sports bikes when I did Brands on my XT.
