KTM DUKE 790 Review | Best Mid-Weight Naked Bike? | Wheelieing the Scalpel!! | KISCHARDIO 

That’s kindve what I’m going for lol so thanks!

Me too here's mine with lots of mods ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T0-KZHccFhA.html

Yeah the video doesn’t do the sound justice. I agree

Spot on buddy! Thanks for the comment!

Coming next week!

Yeah, not sure why KTM did that so quickly lol

That’s not a bad idea... I’ve been thinking about doing something like that... but the issue is I might need to show my face lol

@@Kischardio not necessarily, you could keep your helmet on or just film in first person if you’re not comfortable with a face reveal yet ;)

@mirlin235 oh I'm absolutely in love with the Street Triple, I have an 18' RS so it's probably a little more competitive with the 890. I rode the 790 the a few days before I picked up the ST3 and I loved it and had a deal in place to buy it, but I had a buddy that was telling me that I had to ride a Street Triple before I did anything. I already had a 390 in the garage and I was sitting at work thinking "do I really need a bigger version of the bike I already have?" so I called my dealer and called off the deal and went to pick up a Ice Silver RS without ever having ridden one. I gotta say, its the best blind purchase I've ever made and I would totally do it again. The 765 has a ton of character. The way the power comes on at around 7k and kicks you in the ass is addicting, feels like you have a little turbo spooling and the sound is absolutely perfect. I threw an SC Project S1 on after about a week of owning it and just when I thought the experience couldn't get any better...it did. It's the perfect bike for me, especially in SoCal. I've put about 11,000 miles (canyon, track, commuting) on it in just over a year of owning it and it's been blissful. I think I always want to have a triple in the stable no matter what.

The 890 came to be bc the 790 missed the Street Triple mark. That Triumph is what every manufacturer aims at when making a middleweight naked. I traded my 2020 RS for a 2021 890R. Both fantastic bikes, but the power delivery of the KTM comes on early and pulls noticeably harder coming out of turns. It’s 6-8 lbs lighter than the Triumph, but feels substantially lighter than that.

Zzzzzzzzz…

Hmmm the 790 might be right up your alley. The 890 too, but a bit more aggressive. I haven’t ridden the SP Mt09 so I’m not sure how good that is, but the lightness of the KTM is far and away different from the MT09. The KTM definitely doesn’t have as much power feel though

890R is e beast

I felt the same way until I started riding it.. and then I basically forgot about the look entirely

This is better than an Fz09/MT09 in every way except power. The power from the Yamaha is definitely better

@@Kischardio but reliability, Yamaha wins I’ve heard of oil leaks from valve cover gasket and faulty dash screens

What the fuck are you saying, the prototype looks horrible

@@Charmarque Yea ppl have different preference buddy . I think it looked a fuck tonne better than the ugly production bike .

Oh really? Oof that sounds brutal

I've owned one for just more than a year Haven't had any issues with mine

@@jasonarndt1789 You're one of the lucky ones. I've heard so many horror stories about this bike, put me off from buy it even though I wanted one so bad

@@matthewengelage6366 if you search for negativity you'll find it for any bike but as this video shows its an absolutely amazing bike

Yes the first bikes in 2017 had some small troubles like gaskets, cause its a completly new engine but they fixed the problems and the newer ones dont have these anymore
