It's a game-changer. After a while, you'll never want to ride without one.

Overrated gimmick. After a week, I turned mine off. There is nothing quite like a good old-fashioned manual shift.

I barely use it for everyday commuting, but it’s great for track days and aggressive riding.

The quickshifter on the 790 is okay, but not as smooth as some other bikes I’ve tried. At low RPMs it can be a bit clunky.

Upshifts I love it, but downshifting takes some getting used to with the auto blipper. I still like to use the clutch going down.

I mean, it’s one of those things that you never think you need until you try it. I can’t imagine riding without it now.

It took a software update to get mine working, but now it works flawlessly. It definitely improves the riding 'feel' of the bike.

I think it’s more useful on bigger bikes. It’s nice to have on the 790 but not essential.

Love it. Like a transformer about to pounce, it looks. The angular design is really a standout in a sea of boring naked bikes.

It's too busy for my taste. I like Japanese bikes generally for the cleaner lines or the older KTMs.

The tail section is unfinished, but the headlight is killer. They must have run out of ideas halfway through designing it.

It's growing on me. At first I didn't like it, but now I think it looks pretty badass, especially in person.

What sold me on the bike was the styling. It even looks fast standing still. No regrets.

I really wish they stuck closer to the concept bike design. Some of the coolest elements got cut from the production version.

Definitely polarizing, but I love that KTM took a risk on the design. This is better than playing it safe and boring.

The only thing I don't like about this thing is the exhaust. It's like an afterthought. Everything else is spot on.

I think it already looks dated. The angular trend is on its way out. Give me something more timeless.

It 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?

So far, my 790 has been rock solid for 20,000 miles. Online, people exaggerate the reliability problems.

KTMs are hit or miss. I know people who have no problems with it, and I know people who are in the shop every other month. It's a gamble.
