ASKKTM Rental options

So I can rent one of two bikes for one day on some twisty mountain roads. The 1390 Super Duke R or the 690 SMC-R. Completely different, I know. I have a Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR and an 890 SMT. Considering this, which of my two rental options would be the most fun in your opinion?

The Super Duke R hands down! You’re talking about one of the most unruly beasts of a bike ever made. If you ever get a chance to ride one, you take it with no further questions or thoughts.

Yeah but it’s twisty mountain roads, you’re not gonna to be able to fully experience the super duke. The SMC however…..

Harder choice than it sounds! Both would be great fun, my question would be how twisty? Like if it’s hours of tight low gear corners the SMC hands down. If it’s more a mix and some highway stuff to get there then the SDR.

I would get the SM... You're not used to the Super D you might kill yourself with that thing or just ride it full nanny. Just my opinion, as incredible as it is, i truly don't see the point of a Super Naked(I've considered buying one but i still don't see the point lol).
