Our next issue features a comparison test of these two exotic twins: The 2010 Ducati 1198S and KTM RC8R. As part of the test we ran both bikes on our SuperFlow WinDyn dyno, with some interesting results. While the KTM posts a higher peak horsepower number, the Ducati has a greater spread of torque, making for an interesting comparison on the street and track. Check out the chart here, and look for the comparison test in the next issue of Sport Rider.
