Lazy journos always say 999 for the road and RSV1000R for the track.I have my 749 set up for fast A road/track. it can be a bit bumpy on some roads but was amazed by it first time on track at Cadwell. So am pretty sure a 999 can be set up to be as good if not better than the Aprilia. When you look at the RSVR website the advice on setup is "soften the the supension as much as you can" Seems to me the main difference is just how they leave the factory and that the journos are being lazy and not getting the bikes set up for them before they test, but maybe they dont get the time to play with them? Dont recall a Duke being used as a`long term test bike
