It has decent build quality, but no better. Earlier than I expected I have had to replace a few parts. It is good, but you shouldn't expect premium quality for the price.

I find it comfortable enough. The trick is to get up and take breaks every hour or so. It's not made for Iron Butt challenges, but it'll take you there.

I like the low seat height as a shorter rider. It is comfortable in the city and on longer rides. It's all relative to what your body type is.

It’s a little bit firmer in suspension, which is good for handling but tiring on long rides over bumpy roads. It's a trade-off.

I’ve toured on mine, and it isn’t ideal, but it’s doable. Just pack light, adjust your expectations and enjoy the ride. Sometimes it's more about the journey, than it is about the bike.

I’ve put 20,000 miles on my 890 Adventure with no issues. Modern bikes are pretty solid across the board, and people love to bash KTM reliability.

The T7 is undoubtedly more bulletproof. My Tenere hasn't skipped a beat, while my buddy's 890 is on its second trip to the shop for electrical gremlins.

KTMs are more maintenance intensive, but if you keep on top of it, they are very reliable. In my book, the performance trade-off is worth it.

I think it really boils down to the bike and how the bike is treated. I’ve seen Yamahas and KTMs with issues. Any brand needs regular maintenance.

The 890 is reliable enough, but if something goes wrong, parts are a nightmare to find. You can usually find parts at least with Japanese bikes.

If you're going to go around the world, go Yamaha. The KTM is plenty reliable for everything else and way more fun to ride.
So how does the KTM Duke 790 fare against the Yamaha MT-07 in real-life riding?

The 790 is way more fun. The handling is so much sharper than the MT 07, and that engine is a ripper.
