The KTM Duke 890 R is primarily a high-performance naked bike, with sporty handling and aggressive riding the order of the day. But many owners want to take it out on longer trips and light touring. All of which begs the question of how comfortable the bike is over long periods, how much luggage it can carry, and how well it can handle highway miles. The upright riding position of the Duke series is generally lauded for its comfort, but the 890 R’s stiffer suspension and performance-oriented ergonomics may not be for all-day riding. Wind protection, fuel range, and the availability of aftermarket comfort accessories would be factors tourers would have to consider. The question is whether the 890 R can be a real do-it-all bike or should it be limited to being a sporty street and track machine.
