What is the Duke 790 like for touring long distances?

The KTM Duke 790 is most known for being a sporty naked bike, but some riders are interested in how it can be used for longer trips and light touring. This then begs questions about how comfortable we’d be over long periods, what the fuel range would be, how we’d be able to carry luggage, and how well the bike’s performance characteristics translate to highway cruising. It's an upright, ergonomic, powerful engine tourer, say some, while others claim it's a touring bike that lacks the wind protection and creature comforts that purpose-built touring bikes offer. The debate also rages as to whether or not aftermarket screens and seats can turn the 790 into a competent long-distance machine or if riders should just go with something else for touring duties.

It's not perfect, but it can happen. Mine did a 1000-mile weekend with a tail bag and tank bag. The biggest issue is wind protection.
