I think you're right that the main difference is suspension travel. The reduced travel would make the Duke handle more precisely on twisty roads and have better front end feel and less dive. The Duke also has an underneath muffler which gives less ground clearance but a tad more power, better weight distribution and less prone to crash damage.
