Neither. I'd buy a KTM 990smr.

Or a Ducati scrambler.

Ok, the Ducati. As long as you don't care about finish quality

I had a Dorsoduro and it was really good fun on the bumpy B roads round here. Plastic tank was swelling because of ethanol on the petrol, only going to get worse with E10. Small tank too, fuel light would come on at 65-70 miles. Finish was better than my Ducati Monster, not that that's saying much. If it wasn't for the poor range I might still have it

I had a Dursoduro 750 back in 2009. Only sold it because of the ridiculously small tank range/less than economical engine. I remember that on a track day at Snetterton it managed less than 20 mpg. So could just about do one session before refuelling.

Hyper. Lovely looking and sounding bikes in real life. Came so close to owning one a couple of times!
