Like most things on a motorcycle, aesthetics are subjective, but for some reason, the KTM Duke 790 has piqued the interest of people and stirred up the debate. Unlike other naked bike designs, the bike showcases its aggressive, angular styling evoking KTM's philosophy of 'Ready to Race.' Notable features include the bike’s compact dimensions, exposed trellis frame, and its distinctive LED headlight. Some riders like the modern, edgy look, while others think it’s too busy or just plain polarizing. Also discussed has been the practicability of other design elements such as the tail section and exhaust location. Finally, the styling is considered for what effect, if any, it has on riding experience, road presence, and general fussiness.
