Easy - take one look at the seat!
Going on previous experience, close look at the KTM etc, imho the 1150Gs will win for the high mileage mostly pavement (and especially two-up) folks, the KTM will win for those who are more off-road solo.
There will be plenty of crossover of course. There are - a few - people two-up on 640KTM rtw - whereas some folk with the same bike will tell you they're crazy to do that. Depends a lot on physical size of the rider / passenger too.
There was a guy 6' 7" and 240 pounds if I recall right looking for a bike on one list, and the 1150 would be perfect for him - well, maybe a bit cramped...
All depends on what you want.
At least now there will be a viable alternative!
