dallas is on a distinguished road
I never rode a Katoom, but I can say that the XT660Z is a smooth bike, for a thumper. Still now at over 82.000km's, it's runnin' very smooth, hardly any vibes, even the mirrors have a clear view on the highway at higher revs. At least on mine, in my experience. Although both are thumpers, they're completely different bikes, hardly comparable imho. If you seek power, go for the KTM; if you want an allround allroad travelbike, which also performs well offroad, go for the XT660Z.
Just some thoughts, greetz, Hans.
