After a 10 year lay off I'm getting back in the saddle (mid-life crisis?), looking at a XT660X (2012) and KTM Duke 690 (2104) both 10k miles, to get my road sense back and a bit of fun, and I'm stuck between the two. Obviously big difference in cost but not too worried about that. I've ridden the XTX and I love it but want to know if it's worth a 200+ mile round trip to test ride the KTM.
Would appreciate any feedback from anyone who's had experience of both in terms of low/mid/high range torque, top end vibrations, handling and anything else relevant.
Thanks!
