Even though I subscribed to your channel when i was searching for Streetfighter v4 sp2 reviews i was considering the superduke as second option and actually after the new 1390 I am seriously considering to get the KTM, would appreciate your opinion on which bike is the better one for road use only in term of comfort, heat and power delivery, and regarding reliability i think both ducati and ktm are similar. Thanks a lot.

That is a great question! I'll try to keep my bias out of it, as I believe the better bike for me is the streetfighter, but the KTM is a great bike itself. So for road use, the big twin of the KTM and the low end torque that it provides make it great for usability in the low rev range. The Ducati isn't bad down low at all, however it isn't truly happy until higher in the rpm range which on the street is hard to obtain under the speed limit. As for comfort, both bikes are pretty manageable for a half day ride without truly getting irritated. I think the Ducati seat is significantly better shape and cushion, and I also like the ergonomics a bit better compared to the KTM. However, the KTM seems to be a little more street friendly with cruise control, and a gas gauge. Heat is negligible in my opinion, Ducati does a great job with the cylinder deactivation in neutral so it doesn't just cook you while you're stopped. The KTM is no worries because the exhaust is down low. Power delivery... Both are absolutely insane in their own right. Any gear, any rpm there will be power. But if you were to make me choose between a V4s and Either the 1390 or 1290, I'd pick the V4s.
