Can a standard KTM 390 Duke keep up with the big bikes on track??

We had the standard road bike (KTM 390 Duke) on track with all the big boys, keeping up with and overtaking 1000cc's. The only thing really slowing it down was the foot pegs grounding out, if it wasn't for that I would have smoked everyone! 🤣
We were not able to get a camera on the Aprilia RS660 as I only had one mount and it would not attach anywhere on the bike. There is a little trackside footage of it.
It was a proper mint day at Oulton Park even though I was really intimidated rolling the Duke out of the van and lining up in the pit lane with a load of big track bikes.. at one point I was in the queue next to a Ducati 1198, Suzuki GSXR 750 and a Yamaha R1.
At the end of the day..... "I held my own!"

Update on the Aprilia RS660, it took the first two sessions to get the rearsets right for Baz, after that he was flying and the bike is absolutely mint.
