So how does the KTM Duke 790 fare against the Yamaha MT-07 in real-life riding?

MT-07 all day. It's cheaper, still plenty of bike for the street, and more reliable. Most riding is overkill for the 790.

The bikes are pretty different. The MT-07 is more laid back and easier to live with; the 790 feels more premium and sporty.

I own both, and I like the 790 better. The twisties were a whole lot better with the extra power and better suspension.

The MT-07 is the more well-rounded bike. It is more comfortable, easier to maintain, and still has more than enough grunt for a fun ride.

790 hands down. After you ride one, the MT 07 is just boring. It's just so much more engaging on the KTM.

Reliability alone would get me to take the MT 07. KTM's are fun, but sometimes a pain in the ass to keep running.

Both of them are great bikes, but for different things. The MT-07 is a do-it-all workhorse; the 790 is more of a precision tool.

I have ridden them both extensively, and, for me, the 790 is more capable, but the MT07 is more fun in normal riding. It's so easy to throw around, and it's so playful.

Every time you ride the 790, it feels special. The MT-07 is a good bike, but it doesn’t have that excitement.
