Ok very briefly to start the comparison:

African Twin ABS Model:                          
WET WEIGHT:   232kg
KW:                  70
TORQUE:          98NM
KW:KG RATIO:  0.30

800GS
WET WEIGHT:    214KG
KW:                      63KW
TORQUE:               83
KW:KG RATIO:       0.29

TRIUMPH 800 XCX
WET WEIGHT:        220KG (EST)  
KW:                        70 KW
TORQUE:                 79 NM
KW:KG RATIO:         3.18

The African Twin does have slightly more torque, but power to weight ratio's very close.
Don't shoot me, but correct me were you differ on  stats and give me your view.
My feeling is that the 800GS would be a better buy. (I only ride one up so yes 2 ups might want the higher torque)
