I road the Yamaha, that bike is not for me.
I'm really liking the new versys 1000 for on road and "some" offroad. If I didn;t want to run my C14 up to 200,000 miles I'd proably have one in the garage.
Now before anyone says anything about the versys offroad, remember my C14 has done quite well offroading it. Wish I had real examples of what its capable for off road.
Now of course my C14 won't go places my KTM goes regularly, but hey neither will the two bikes you propose
On the other hand, my friend with the heavy Yamaha you are debating had a bad day when we were offroading in TX
and yes, we put boards down and everything else to pry this front end out of the muck
