The middleweight naked bike space is fiercely competitive, and the KTM Duke 790 is often lined up against Japanese contenders such as the Yamaha MT 07, Kawasaki Z650, and Honda CB650R. Riders often compare each of them and discuss the best features, which include performance, handling, technology features, build quality, and value for money. On one side are the proven reliability and lower cost of its Japanese counterparts, and on the other are the 790's more premium positioning and higher spec components. We also discuss the differences in character and ride each bike brings to the party, ranging from the more aggressive 790 to the smoother delivery of some Japanese models. The comparison also includes brand loyalty, dealer support, and aftermarket options.
In performance and tech, they blow the 790 out of the water. You’re like comparing a smartphone to a flip phone.
