FAQs
-
Anyone have any thoughts on how good the quickshifter is on the Duke 790?
16 January 2025 06:22Upshifts I love it, but downshifting takes some getting used to with the auto blipper. I still like to use the clutch going down.
-
What do Duke 790 owners think of the bike’s styling?
16 January 2025 06:22It has perfect styling for the character of the bike. It’s aggressive, modern and a little unconventional – just like the way it rides.
-
So what is the deal with KTM reliability on the Duke 790?
16 January 2025 06:22I think the reliability issues are blown out of proportion. They're not Honda reliable, but they're not falling apart left and right either.
-
How does the Duke 790 shape up against its Japanese middleweight rivals?
16 January 2025 06:22The 790's electronics package is way ahead of the Japanese offerings. It’s worth the added expense for the TFT display, cornering ABS, and multiple ride modes.
