Monster 1100 vs Moto Guzzi V11 Sport

Sitting at home sick and kinda bored, so I decided to do a spec comparison between my departed Moto Guzzi V11 Sport and my 2010 Monster 1100. The reason for the interest (at least for me) is the fact that they are both 2-valve, 2-cylinder, air cooled sporting bikes with almost the same engine capacity. Bikes are 10 years apart and a lot of development can happen, though, looking at the specs of Monsters at the time if an 1100 had been produced it appears the numbers would not be that different. Things I remember about the MG: vibrated like hell, not incredibly fast off the line, surprisingly twitchy in the handling department, needed to get the engine spinning decently to get power, but still an out of steam a bit quickly.

Displacement   1064          1078
Bore x stroke   92x80         98x71.5
Compression   9.8:1         10.7:1
Max power   91hp @7800      95@7500
Max torque   94Nm @6000      103Nm @6000
Final drive    shaft          chain
Front tire    120/70-17       120/70-17
Rear tire    180/55-17       180/55-17
Wheelbase    57.9”         57.1”
Dry weight   483 lb         373lb

I admit I'm no great mechanical mind so my observations might be way off but these are them anyway. Obviously the first thing the Ducati has going for it is the HUGE weight difference. MG further encumbered by the shaft. I'm surprised at the big torque difference since the Ducati has so much additional bore and shorter stroke. I'm sure compression has something to do with it but still... Despite the shorter wheelbase the Duc is much more stable - I think MG probably got aggressive with the steeling geometry to counteract the weight. Also the Duc much more comfortable despite my 6'2" frame.
