I rode both the Street Triple R and the 790 Duke. I got down the street on the triple and had a huge grin on my face, it was a blast. But when I went and rode the Duke, I had that same ear to ear grin before leaving the parking lot. Everyone has a different taste and you won't know what fits you until you get out there and try them. I bashed the 790 since it's release because of it's looks, but after riding it, it's actually one of my favorite bikes I've had the chance to ride. ✌️

@alexv5581 5 лет назад

Looks is subjective, you like the triumph, but I think it looks terrible. The KTM bikes are great looking, super sharp lines and angles. Beautiful geometry with a great presence. Plus the orange and black combo is stunning.

@GrtSatan 4 года назад

@@alexv5581 I put a 1000 dollar deposit on mine after viewing KTM's promo vid. Chose the black/gray colour scheme and waited six months for mine to arrive. Also purchased the optional Akrapovic silencer because I thought the stock system was an aesthetic mess. One year later it is in the shop having a coolant leak remedied under warranty; I love this machine. It is far and away the most exciting street bike I have ever ridden and punches way above its weight compared to other supposedly comparable machines. It's a bargain as well. just try getting more bang for your buck.

@MGL83 5 лет назад

I just bought the 790. MT 09 wasn't ever really in competition for me. 790 was much more fun to ride. I fit on KTM way better (I'm tall so legroom is key), it looks and sounds way better (personal view, I prefer twins) and build and finish is much nicer. Down to details like light up switches. One potential downside - we'll see what's reliability like. Bias disclaimer, I'm from Europe, so maybe local brand loyalty might be a factor.

Benson Wang mountain motorsports is probably the worst dealership chain in existence. Every time I’ve been they’ve generally always been shady or unprofessional in some way. From denying me the ability to test ride a bike that I’ve literally told them I’ll buy right now if i enjoy the test ride to them charging an insane amount of “dealer fees” on top of the one bike I’ve purchased from them (lol I’ll never do that again). My advice, avoid these mother fuckers like the plague unless they’re the only people who have something you’re looking for, lol but chances are they won’t have it either because they hardly have shit in stock.

The dash setup and the way the controls are placed are exactly the same as on the 790 and I must agree it is hard to reach that indicator switch I agree man. I am also considering the 790 for my bigger licence and I can't wait to get one this September. Don't worry about the orange. If you don't like that there's actually a black version of the 790 and it looks absolutely gorgeous man! I enjoyed the video keep it up man. Very informative :D

I have gel inserts in the seats that's made it oh so much better and allowing comfortable touring days out .launch mode is great fun and the menu is easy and intuitive ,mirrors work great ,small screen allows 100 mph cruising in comfort .This has become the only bike I need .R&G heated grips work superb and cost 25% of the cost of the factory grips .

The laughing every time your open the throttle and throw it in a corner because it’s so light and fun.. well after a year on my 790 I still do that every time! Nice review.

@MonkeyBoy_Prints 5 лет назад

I bought this bike last August after my 900 Tracer was stolen (FJ-09 for you across the pond) And being so much lighter than the FJ and not having a screen it feels so much faster. The throttle response is pretty aggressive but you get used to it. I don't have the stock exhaust, I have the Akra. This bike is small which works for me, I'm 5"8 but it also means traffic doesn't matter because it can slide between gaps other bikes may struggle. I'm a huge fan of this bike and it sounds actually really good in person. It isn't the loudest bike but that's a good thing for me as I start work at 06:00.

The lack of downward quickshifting is one of the cons however, but that doesn't disturb me.

Great Review Chase! I'm thinking it all gets down to Price vs Performance, Style, Dealer Location and Company Realibility Reputation. If I were in the market for a "Naked Bike" or any bike, these are the things I would be looking at. Also insurance cost. I like the auto bliper but would I want to pay that much for it? Nope! I like the engine. Would I pay that much for it? Nope! MT700 would be my bang for the buck bike in this catagory. It pegs the fun vs price meter IMO.

I will go for the duke as my next bike. Compared with the MT/FZ-09 and the street triple. The main advantages over the other bikes in my personal view are mostly the "Supermoto" feel and also the electronics pack. I´m really into high tech stuff especially when it improves security and comfort. I rode a WR250x for the past years, and the super light feeling and the freedom in the seating position mean a lot to me. The MT feels to heavy and sluggish for me coming from a 130kg bike and the street triple is too sporty in its position. Had a ninja for a little while, and sporty isn´t my thing. Like you said, it´s strange to have non adjustable suspension on it. Probably a cost thing. But it seems to be really good anyway. I absolutely agree that adjustability is a big thing, even the WR has it, but I might be ok with it not being a thing on the duke.

i own a 790 duke, sold my cbr600rr and havent regreted it one bit, the duke accelerates faster than a supersport up until 230kmh all you need for the duke to be perfect is a full exhaust and remap thats why the bike doesnt feel "aggresive" triumph has nothing on the duke when its tuned correctley without the euro4 emmisions and the cat

@headlube89 5 лет назад

I agree having a Street Triple R, they are the superior motorcycle. The duke gets jus tunder 100hp on a dyno while the Striple gets close to 115hp on the dyno. Torque over horsepower any day makes any bike more enjoyable.

@kelvinhii939 5 лет назад

Nice first ride review, but you're not testing it where it belongs, which is on the curvy mountain roads. There is would kill the Street Triple with its slimmer ergonomics, handling and lightness.

I totally get why you’d want to get the Duke 790 just for the autoblipper. The quick shifter on the ZX10R is fantastic and at some point in the future it WILL have the autoblipper too. I just hope it doesn’t make me lazy on the clutch for other bikes without those amenities.

@richardfarabaugh7604 5 лет назад

Oh and by the way that ZX10R is a beast, I absolutely love it.

@NoahD123 5 лет назад

You should go back to the Street Triple RS or try the Speed Triple RS. Especially once the connectivity update goes out. You will be able to control your GoPros from the bar controls/dash screen

@gavinrobinson4468 5 лет назад

I have a Duke 390 right now and I am planning on getting a 790 here soon to upgrade. I was looking at the street triple r as another option. For me the looks and electronics make me like the Duke more. The suspension on it is really damn good too. Adjustable suspension I think is just one of those things that people want just because with no real reason to have it. I don't have a desire to track my bike, if I did I think I would lean towards the triumph. For the kind of riding I do though the ktm fits better. Also there are a LOT of fz09s and street triples where I live so the cool factor of having something a little different is 👌

@msi1985 5 лет назад

Love the video, I owned a 16' 1290 Superduke from new with just north of 17'000 I recently traded to this 19 790 duke! They are def two different machines.. .I actually like to call this the SV790 because it reminds me of my first bike which was an sv650... Except this has all the bells and whistles you'd die for on your first bike.. like double the power and rider.modes that make.sense ! It's just perfect for the streets and mountain riding ( coming from Victoria BC ) my 3 complaints were the stock tires the turn signal and the front fender cover plate seems like an afterthought.... With premium rubber this bike really does become much easier to ride agressivly.

How about the Yamaha XSR900 - looks SO much better than the KTM, has the distinct 3 cylinder sound, and has a major manufacturer. Had mine since 2016 and LOVE it!

@Zalonka 5 лет назад

You are saying ktm isn't a major manufacturer? 😂 alright buddy xsr is just a heavier mt09. The mt09 is shit.

@jpnivens 5 лет назад

@@Zalonka Sorry you feel that way but that's your opinion. With the additional technology on the XSR900 it may be a bit heavier but is very enjoyable to ride. And NO, I would not consider KTM a major manufacturer when you look at # of units sold worldwide compared to HD, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. I never said they were poor bikes, never ridden one so can't speak for that, but I've never seen one on a showroom floor or on the street either. Maybe I've missed them but that color would have caught my eye.

PDilly my guess is that he does the same trip twice. First trip is solo and while he reviews the bike. Then does another with the film car and just rides for the sake of getting the whole bike on camera for our benefit to see how we would look on it. Then splices and matches the footage up.

@wolfnthemist 5 лет назад

Chase after owning your Daytona you should really know the choice in the naked department. If the street triple is equal in everything but a blipper, which can be added then obviously the striple. After coming from my 1098 back to my 14 striple R the quality, characteristics and general reliability of the triple engines gives the best of every world as you’ve seen. Not to throw the old saying that anything Italian is unreliable but look at walterriffic. Just moved to Maine and his super duke has been in the shop at least twice. Now if you’re really wanting to stay away from the street triple/ Daytona after owning/borrowing both totally get that. But then I feel you should go back to your true roots with Yamaha and do either the fz-09 or 10. (Insurance price etc not included) you know all of your power is there, you know Yamahas reliability and parts availability after everything with holly. But this is just my opinion. I personally will probably be looking to go from my street to the speed triple. Starting to find I miss the litre bike power even if I don’t need it. The 1098 just had more performance than I was willing to risk finding. Cheers and good luck hunting from KCMO!
