My problem is the fucking insurance in my province.

I rode both the Street Triple R and the 790 Duke. I got down the street on the triple and had a huge grin on my face, it was a blast. But when I went and rode the Duke, I had that same ear to ear grin before leaving the parking lot. Everyone has a different taste and you won't know what fits you until you get out there and try them. I bashed the 790 since it's release because of it's looks, but after riding it, it's actually one of my favorite bikes I've had the chance to ride. ✌️

Looks is subjective, you like the triumph, but I think it looks terrible. The KTM bikes are great looking, super sharp lines and angles. Beautiful geometry with a great presence. Plus the orange and black combo is stunning.

@@alexv5581 I put a 1000 dollar deposit on mine after viewing KTM's promo vid. Chose the black/gray colour scheme and waited six months for mine to arrive. Also purchased the optional Akrapovic silencer because I thought the stock system was an aesthetic mess. One year later it is in the shop having a coolant leak remedied under warranty; I love this machine. It is far and away the most exciting street bike I have ever ridden and punches way above its weight compared to other supposedly comparable machines. It's a bargain as well. just try getting more bang for your buck.

Love all the reviews and videos you put out there for us. Thanks Chase. I would like to see a first ride on the 2019 GSX-S750 Please. keep up the good work. Ride safe.

I like the new touches, the sponsor incorporation in the footage of the bike with the specs. The little gray icons that 1 watermark your content but also promote your brand and mention it is a first ride. And just generally the way you film it is something no one else does. Also props just keeping cool at the guy honking at you and continuing the conversation.

I watched this last winter up until this spring when I bought my 2020 790, and I still come back just to enjoy the video even tho I have one sitting in the garage, Fr love this video so much 😂 also love the bike! 4K miles and no complaints what so ever.

A Remus can on this bike sounds great, I’ve had my 790 for 6mths and 5500kms. Your giggles are what I get to feel everyday.

You know chase, I watch your videos in my KZread subscription tab, at the end... because I feel excited to enjoy the best content at the very end...man, you make one of the best morovlogs🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have a 790 so I'm very pleased you done this video, you really need to do a longer test ride though! Trust me man my favourite thing by far about the bike is not the down blipper, all day long it's the cornering, you can throw this bike at a corner any speed and you always feel you could have done it even faster, this bike has your back in the bends, best handling bike ever!!!!

On the looks. Duke 790 is more aggressive lookin. For me I pref this bike! Sooo excited to see this in your garage!!🔥

I've had this bike for a year ,it's brilliant all rounder and fun fun fun .The only warning is that you are having so much fun that you tend to be speeding far too often .yes the rear brake leave was the first thing I adjusted and upgrade the pads to gain more feel .Standard tyres was shot by 1800 miles ,now using Pirelli angel gt2 which is a good upgrade and should achieve 6000 miles plus . I have gel inserts in the seats that's made it oh so much better and allowing comfortable touring days out .launch mode is great fun and the menu is easy and intuitive ,mirrors work great ,small screen allows 100 mph cruising in comfort .This has become the only bike I need .R&G heated grips work superb and cost 25% of the cost of the factory grips .

Dude you read my mind! I was thinking yesterday "I hope Chase do a first ride on the 790 duke"!

owning one from june, i can tell you that it chews sportsbikes on mountain roads, and you know europe roads, it pretty much also destroys supersport (600 and even 1000) on the track, not in straightlines, but on the corners is just a freaking amazing bike, it also gets up to 60 mpg wich is just insane, did a few 9 hour all mountain road (and a bit oh highway) trip and you can keep going, best bike of the year hands down

Great video production. I currently ride a 1290 Superduke but I do like the character of this middleweight. Reminds me of my old Yamaha FZ-07.

Chase, I was really hoping to see your reaction with the launch control. I find it a little scary at first but after it’s like wow this really works!

I’d definitely go with the 790 over the triple! I currently own a 2015 Superduke 1290r! Just as you said in your video it’s nice to have something that’s more unique I’m pondering on this bike or the 790 Adventure R but gotta say the bikes angles and lines of the 790 look so sharp! I think with a exhaust and mods you’ll love that thing even more!

Great video as always bro!! Can you do a review on the Honda CB650R? Outro Crew!! Thanks!!

I bought this bike last August after my 900 Tracer was stolen (FJ-09 for you across the pond) And being so much lighter than the FJ and not having a screen it feels so much faster. The throttle response is pretty aggressive but you get used to it. I don't have the stock exhaust, I have the Akra. This bike is small which works for me, I'm 5"8 but it also means traffic doesn't matter because it can slide between gaps other bikes may struggle. I'm a huge fan of this bike and it sounds actually really good in person. It isn't the loudest bike but that's a good thing for me as I start work at 06:00.

Haven't tried the 790 Duke, but I do own a Street Triple RS myself, and I love it. It's easy to ride, performs like a beast, it looks great, and the display is both responsive and customizable, these are just a few of all the pros.. The lack of downward quickshifting is one of the cons however, but that doesn't disturb me.

21:01 - Ms. Chaseontwowheels: who is that Katie M. that you are always talking about? - Chaseontwowheels: I swear to you it's a motorcycle.

Would be great to see the new Superduke R. Brilliant review as always, can't wait to start ride my Ktm 390.

Chase, just purchase the 1290 Super Duke R and call it a day. It comfortable, versatile, powerful and scary all in one package.

The laughing every time your open the throttle and throw it in a corner because it’s so light and fun.. well after a year on my 790 I still do that every time! Nice review.

I have a modified 790 duke, bough a belly panel striped of tail made it sharp racy looking, clean and it looks scary with the austin racing titanium... it rides amazing and has a terror sound with the AR exhaust. Never had an issue but i would reccomend chaning the chain, the exhaust system and map it right away if you don't want to feel the jerkyness. Otherwise the bike is just a beast.

Love your videos man. I'm coming off of zx14 from 5 years ago should I go for this since I'm getting back I to riding or the 1290 duke? Kinda got out of the sportbike phase with thr 14 want to start on a different segment. What do you think?

"I'm in the market for a mid to high weight naked. Motorcycle, obviously." Starting off the review with a bang lol

Chase, I love the first rides but I want to see what your opinions are on Aprilia. I bought an 2018 Aprilia Tuono about 2 weeks ago and love it. Wish you would do a video over one. I would be interested in your thoughts on that Aprilia beast of a bike. The 790 was an option along with the street triple but after taking them out I just enjoyed the Aprilia more. Thanks for the vids keep up the good work.

I can’t wait for the 790 adventure R to come out. I own a 950sm and really considering this as my next bike

i know they coast more but give the MV Agusta - BRUTALE 800, DRAGSTER 800 RR or RVS a try

Yeah, I would totally go with the Street Triple and fit an aftermarket auto-blipper so you get the best of everything you want.

Chase you should get the 790 duke put some block offs, exhaust and new mirrors and I bet you will love it

I have a Yamaha Fz-07 and absolutely love that bike. If i could change up today though, id go get a Triumph Speed Triple.

I just got a 2018 Street Triple RS and had test ridden the 790 Duke as well - the engine on the 790 is awesome (but so is the Street Triple) in the end I found the 790 to be one of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ever ridden so the Triumph won out, even if the lower down power and torque of the 790 is more readily available for street riding than the Street Triple. Yes the Triumph has more but you have to be wringing its neck to really notice the difference.

Nice video Chase :D I live in Germany and currently ride a 2017 KTM Duke 125 (same frame wheels and everything as on the 390 that you mentioned and love except a little less power) and I'm also rocking some Highsider bar- end mirrors and a nice tail tidy to make the bike more beautiful. The dash setup and the way the controls are placed are exactly the same as on the 790 and I must agree it is hard to reach that indicator switch I agree man. I am also considering the 790 for my bigger licence and I can't wait to get one this September. Don't worry about the orange. If you don't like that there's actually a black version of the 790 and it looks absolutely gorgeous man! I enjoyed the video keep it up man. Very informative :D

Been waiting on this for ageeessss. Thanks brahh

Love the video, I owned a 16' 1290 Superduke from new with just north of 17'000 I recently traded to this 19 790 duke! They are def two different machines.. .I actually like to call this the SV790 because it reminds me of my first bike which was an sv650... Except this has all the bells and whistles you'd die for on your first bike.. like double the power and rider.modes that make.sense ! It's just perfect for the streets and mountain riding ( coming from Victoria BC ) my 3 complaints were the stock tires the turn signal and the front fender cover plate seems like an afterthought.... With premium rubber this bike really does become much easier to ride agressivly.

Does the dash have some sort of brightness setting? Cuz if not, I couldn't see it at all at any time :S

2nd bike worthy? i dont ride my 1250fa much is this worth buying? Reason being is its just as heavy as a road king Harley about 835 curb weight i was also looking into the aprillia shiver 900 you should test that as well if you can find one in GA

I have a Duke 390 right now and I am planning on getting a 790 here soon to upgrade. I was looking at the street triple r as another option. For me the looks and electronics make me like the Duke more. The suspension on it is really damn good too. Adjustable suspension I think is just one of those things that people want just because with no real reason to have it. I don't have a desire to track my bike, if I did I think I would lean towards the triumph. For the kind of riding I do though the ktm fits better. Also there are a LOT of fz09s and street triples where I live so the cool factor of having something a little different is 👌

Been waiting for this first ride forever... That is one sexy beast!

Can you please do the 2019 Triumph Bobber black. I know you usually review the more sporty bikes but would really appreciate it as I am currently looking to get one. Thank you!

Hey chase. You should do a test ride on the Honda cb1000r, looking at getting a bike and that’s one of the ones in the running. Love the videos btw!

I'm taking the 790 or the street triple. Hands down. Between the auto down blipper and the sheer look of the bike... I'm sold.

Great Review Chase! I'm thinking it all gets down to Price vs Performance, Style, Dealer Location and Company Realibility Reputation. If I were in the market for a "Naked Bike" or any bike, these are the things I would be looking at. Also insurance cost. I like the auto bliper but would I want to pay that much for it? Nope! I like the engine. Would I pay that much for it? Nope! MT700 would be my bang for the buck bike in this catagory. It pegs the fun vs price meter IMO.

I was waiting for this first ride 🎉🎉🎉

I had a 790 demonstrator for a day last summer and it's a super fun bike with far more power than you'd ever believe an 800cc twin could make, it's ultra flickable and has a great electronics package but the looks just put me off it completely, I know looks are subjective but the 790 is completely different to the really nice prototype.

Great review, I just got my first bike, the Z650. Love it, but I could see myself upgrading to this or the triumph street triple r lrh. I'm thinking I'd go with the triumph, just based off of looks and seat height ( I have 27" inseam ).

I just bought the 790. MT 09 wasn't ever really in competition for me. 790 was much more fun to ride. I fit on KTM way better (I'm tall so legroom is key), it looks and sounds way better (personal view, I prefer twins) and build and finish is much nicer. Down to details like light up switches. One potential downside - we'll see what's reliability like. Bias disclaimer, I'm from Europe, so maybe local brand loyalty might be a factor.

My (new to me) 2014 690 Duke was stolen last Thursday. I had it for less than a year. Positive side, I had full coverage. Also positive side, I'm upgrading to the 790. I'm 6'2 220lbs. I dont want a 1290 yet. I'm thinking this bike is going to be that perfect in-between.

Please try out the KTM 790 Adventure R if you get a chance (when is comes out). It has the same motor as the Duke, so it will be interesting to see how they compare.

im so glad you did a first ride on this bike! I have an FZ09 and am thinking about selling and getting a multistrada BUT i also want a city bike to replace my daily commuter like my FZ. How would say it compares power wise to the Fz09???? @chaseontwowheels

I tried the 2018 model. fun bike to ride and the sound is great but its not a bike I would like to take for longer rides at all.

Test rode the duke as a potential first Bike - found it fun and enjoyable but didn’t like it aesthetically. Ended up getting a street triple 765 and in my opinion blows this away in every aspect

Chase, I use my 2014 Z1000 as my daily...and I travel from Statesboro to Savannah A LOT! My naked has seen 7200 miles and probably 55% of that has been interstate. My biggest complaints are the wind and hard seat!

What’s that blue bike in the beginning of the video ? Looks almost like a mt-07 maybe? But also it doesn’t

do you only review sport bikes or can you do a review on a cruiser? preferably a indian scout bobber :) please and thanks. Would love to see one of your reviews on them

Hey chase! I was wondering if you could do a test ride on the Z650 as i want to get into motorcycles and I like the MT/FZ 07 a lot but it is very overpriced here and the Z650 seems pretty similar to it and looks like a good bike.

You should go back to the Street Triple RS or try the Speed Triple RS. Especially once the connectivity update goes out. You will be able to control your GoPros from the bar controls/dash screen

Would love to see a first ride on the crf250l, kinda like the wr250r but a more budget option more for the road.

How does Chase film the 3rd person scenes? With a gopro on a gimbal on another bike, or car orr... idk? It looks so smooth

What mirrors would you put on this bike Chase?

You were comparing the 790 to the street tripple, but what what about the speed triple, considering that for your next naked?

Looking Good on the KTM Duke 790!

I just looked at one of these, the video does no justice to the sound of the exhaust. The bike sounds really good in person.

Fz07 oder DUke 790 ?

Both are good but I’d get the triumph because that sound on the 3 cylinder

dude, dat auto-blipper =O I wish I had that on my fz-07. I love the raw torque from the parallel twin 689cc engine. It always puts a grin on my face. Plus the baffle-less M4 exhaust I have on it, sounds like a V8 brappin down the street. I'm in Orlando, Florida and that acceleration is vastly important with the crappy drivers around. I'm glad I didn't get a ZX-6R or R6, the hyper naked seating position is where it's at for a congested city... Highway riding would be better on a MT-10 or the MT-09 (one day I'll maybe upgrade to the MT-10 bc it looks like a damn decepticon).

Seriously thinking about buying this bike as my first Street bike. I grew up riding dirt bikes and quads, but never a street bike. The bike has anti wheely and other safety settings which make me feel I can grow with the bike. I'm fairly disciplined when riding. What are your guys opinions?

I've torn between this or the triumph street triple r or the Honda cb650r

Chase what about the new MT-09 or the MT-07?

Duke 790 or MT 09? Which ?!!?? So hard to choose.

Benson Wang mountain motorsports is probably the worst dealership chain in existence. Every time I’ve been they’ve generally always been shady or unprofessional in some way. From denying me the ability to test ride a bike that I’ve literally told them I’ll buy right now if i enjoy the test ride to them charging an insane amount of “dealer fees” on top of the one bike I’ve purchased from them (lol I’ll never do that again). My advice, avoid these mother fuckers like the plague unless they’re the only people who have something you’re looking for, lol but chances are they won’t have it either because they hardly have shit in stock.
