those are the two bikes I want as well....both are amazing. Looking about $2-3k more for the ktm but being one of a couple people in the state to have one would be worth it. KTM was also the bike of the year....the speed triple also supposedly has one of the best engines ever in a motorcycle so it's a win-win situation. Also might want to look at the now discontinued ktm 990 supermoto on heavy discount($9-10k) or the new ducati hypermotard if you can give up a little of the long distance comfort


either way you get tons of credit for getting something other than a supersport 600 or 1000
