KTM 790 Duke: A Wet Welsh Adventure 💦
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hey Everyone,
In this video, I ride and review the 2023 KTM 790 Duke, a bike that has undergone significant improvements since I last rode it in 2017. The new model boasts advanced electronics and ‘scalpel’ handling, making it a joy to ride on both dry and wet roads. Speaking of wet roads, I took the bike for a spin through the Welsh countryside in some truly dreadful weather, and it rode flawlessly.
If you’re looking for a middleweight bike that combines performance and real-world fun, the KTM 790 Duke is definitely worth considering. Watch my video to see the bike in action and learn more about its features and capabilities.
Funnily enough, there are actually some pretty decent deals available on the KTM 790 Duke at the moment. The KTM Power Deals offer low-rate finance options and up to £1,000 discount on the 790 Duke. I'm sure though that deals are available for a limited time only, so if you’re interested in getting a KTM 790 Duke in your garage, now might be a good time to have a gander at them!
Thanks again for watching!

You talking about your sound quality, made me realise how good and easily audible yours is, compared to the other Bike channels I watch ! It don't matter how nice the Witch's character may be, if I don't feel comfortable being seen out with her, then the show is over..., and that's why I can't ever see myself riding a KTM, no matter how beautiful its character may be. They just can't make an attractive bike.

Agreed so many of them seem to be on the ugly pills.
As a heavy unit I would have to have the upgraded suspension to adjust for my mass. Great review as always. Thanks Kate.
Oh Kate , never has living the dream been more appropriate😊 and that glamping set up, Wow. I think in the Summer that whole set up would be perfect .

Great content Kate! I’m lucky to prety much have the Elan Valley on my doorstep. 30 mins away. Amazing drone footage of the Dams. 👍
I am taking my full license in february and have been looking at a 790 Duke for a time now as my first big bike. Seeing your video on it and LambChopRides video on this bike, it has convinced me. Great video and i am subbing. Merry Christmas.
Hei Ka Nice video on KTM Duke motorcycles.I liked your video🎉
Excellent vlog as usual. Very much looking forward to watching the next episode. 👍🏼

Elan Valley, stunning! I was up there recently, riding Claerwen Resevoir green lane, on my 790 Adventure, with my mate, on his T7. Like you, we had sun, showers, torential rain, even sleet! The video is on my channel, Grumps Rides (shameless plug). Looking forward to the next part of these videos, keep up th egreat work Kate.
Wales is perfect! One downside it's so bloody far away from where I live in Denmark. But once there, it's brilliant! And on a brilliant bike, I must say! Just bought one myself, since my sons girlfriend sells her 390 Duke, in favour of my white, old trusty 690 Duke. Stays in the family! Thanks!
Ive ridden those roads many times over the years and the views and roads never fail to impress me,there's just as good roads and scenery all over Wales. Great vid and commentary 👍👍

Kate and Chops in one video?! Winner!
Ktm's are often set for a 85 + kg rider, so it would take som backing of the Comp to make it comfortable for you Kate..
at a driving shool i move with a sv650 and resume "60 ps" if learners throw away the clutch leaver ... no 80!!! ps i notice weeks later - sorry i can not follow all the nice words for "under 200ps" it "moves" yes , but ... riding should have the "little secret"
Great video. I know you're more into big bore bikes, but having just bought the 2023 790adv, I'm hoping you'll say some nice things about it. In particular, you could say things like it beats the hell out of a Transalp or a Vstrom800 with all the extras, electronic throttle, 15K service intervals, steering dampener, 2 position seat, tubeless tires, cruise control and so much more which it's rivals don't have.

Nice bike
The Elan Valley (at 18:30)- one of my favourite roads!
Lovely weather! Not! I think you missed a trick there, with Mr Knox being on the ride. I'm shure that you would have been a better advert for Knox gear than the more 'rotund' Choppsey! Lol. The pod you are staying looks fabulous, in an amazing location. I'm looking forward to the off road fun. 👍.

Loved this and that glamping accommodation! Might see if I can find it and take the Mrs there on the bike next year. It's funny you said about this duke being better than the 105bhp version as I tried that a few years ago to replace my 390 but didn't buy one. Is this less powerful version really that different?

Seams to be a lot of cam failures at around 16,000 miles which costs £3,000 to put right. KTM won't entertain claims out of 2 year warranty.
I get that their good bikes but i cant get past how ugly they are
A shame they’re made in China
