Too much? It's a blast to ride daily for anyone with decent skills, but maybe for beginners. It’s just gotta respect the throttle.

I love mine and commute on it. It’s not as comfy as a touring bike, but the thrill makes up for it, sure.

It's a bit much for stop-and-go traffic, honestly. Long commutes in the city hurt my wrists.

That depends on your riding style. It’s great if you’re always itching for speed. But if you like a relaxed ride, look elsewhere.

I think it would be overkill for everyday use. It's not exactly fuel efficient, and you're never going to use all that power on public roads.

It's all about self-control. It’s perfectly fine for daily rides, but if you can’t resist the urge to go full throttle all the time, it’s not for you.

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

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.
