This is great. Love your enthousiasm. Good review, we need more of this.

Brotha Kisch really stepping up his review game. Well done brotha, well done!

best review I've ever seen about duke 790!

You should definitely try the 890 then! Love the review, I have mine in the garage waiting to be ridden😍✨

Great video, loving these review videos, keep it up bud 👍🏼

I've had a ktm 640 motard for the last ten years. haven't found any other bike interesting or hoon factor. This might just be a next purchase! thanks for the vid bro

your enthusiasm is everything, I am buying it as soon is i sell my 690, tnx a lot.

The way you talk while doing this always feels like the bike version of a matt farah one take. I love it

Kisch your'e making it look like it's for an experienced rider like you. People who are new and would want to have middle weight naked sport bike like this would get scared of it 🤣

Kischardio approved! So glad to have purchased one a couple months ago. Got it on sale for 2k off BRAND NEW (50 miles odometer). I was told that the manufacturer marks down their 790 dukes for 2k off once or twice a year to clear out for the next wave of duke shipments. $8,499 msrp for a duke is a steal! Keep an eye out for those sales. As for the brakes, I swapped the master cylinder for a brembo 19rcs... really improved the braking performance without having to change the entire system. This bike is disgustingly easy to ride, and KTM does an amazing job at making the rider modes feel very distinguishable. Its a great commuting machine but the twisties are where it belongs. Loving these reviews bro. Keep it up!

Spot on buddy! Thanks for the comment!

Great video. What ride/throttle mode are you using to pop the wheelies? The mirrors are terrible.... They were the first to go. Followed by the rear handle and seat, rear foot pegs, hideous tail fender and exhaust haha now she looks like she should

Really been thinking about this as my first bike

Great review. Thanks.

Duuuuuude I didn't think you were a english guy cuz of the name.do you remember someone asking about your D-mach 3??? Found your channel todayyy..love your content

Great video 👍🏻. Great bike, totally agree such a fun bike to ride. My brother has a 790, his only complaint is that they released the 890 right after he bought the 790 😂👍🏻.

Wassup Kischardio! They let me take the bike too and it’s ridiculous 😂

Did you use hero 8 to film this video? If you have 8, how long did it stands until its overheating in 4k? And beside cool video, and last question did you have sam problems with 790 on realy low rpm did it engine like to stops you on them?

Thanks for the video brah.

I own one and I gotta say this thing sounds waaaaaay better in real life. It Purrs and backfires like nothing else. You WILL get addicted

Great review, I went from a 2015 s1000rr to the 790 duke. Many of your points are the reason why I moved down just for the fun factor and usability

Lets goo🤩

If you like 790-you will love 890.

Give the 890 a shot i bet it just gets better.

Anyone know which road this is?

KTM Duke 890R a level up from the 790 ;) ... Good review though bud

I think KTM nailed it. A very nice addition to the crowded naked middle class. I'd imagine the 890 being what the 790 should have been, though. A ton of bang for buck, for sure. Cheers from Portugal

I’m 6,3 will it fit

So... do you like it?

You should do more Doug DeMuro style reviews, along with quirks and features 😂 I’m sure there’s a big audience for this style for motorcycles

Now I need you to ride a Street Triple because I need as much validation as I can get that I made the right decision in buying one over a 790.

@edmondthompson7525

@mirlin235 oh I'm absolutely in love with the Street Triple, I have an 18' RS so it's probably a little more competitive with the 890. I rode the 790 the a few days before I picked up the ST3 and I loved it and had a deal in place to buy it, but I had a buddy that was telling me that I had to ride a Street Triple before I did anything. I already had a 390 in the garage and I was sitting at work thinking "do I really need a bigger version of the bike I already have?" so I called my dealer and called off the deal and went to pick up a Ice Silver RS without ever having ridden one. I gotta say, its the best blind purchase I've ever made and I would totally do it again. The 765 has a ton of character. The way the power comes on at around 7k and kicks you in the ass is addicting, feels like you have a little turbo spooling and the sound is absolutely perfect. I threw an SC Project S1 on after about a week of owning it and just when I thought the experience couldn't get any better...it did. It's the perfect bike for me, especially in SoCal. I've put about 11,000 miles (canyon, track, commuting) on it in just over a year of owning it and it's been blissful. I think I always want to have a triple in the stable no matter what.

The 890 came to be bc the 790 missed the Street Triple mark. That Triumph is what every manufacturer aims at when making a middleweight naked. I traded my 2020 RS for a 2021 890R. Both fantastic bikes, but the power delivery of the KTM comes on early and pulls noticeably harder coming out of turns. It’s 6-8 lbs lighter than the Triumph, but feels substantially lighter than that.

Chosse one... 1290 2017 (like) or 890r 2021(coment)?

I own a MT-09 SP is it worth it to sell it to buy the *890 Duke? I like wheelies and traveling/commuting, i attack corners from time to time, but its not a priority.

@Kischardio

Hmmm the 790 might be right up your alley. The 890 too, but a bit more aggressive. I haven’t ridden the SP Mt09 so I’m not sure how good that is, but the lightness of the KTM is far and away different from the MT09. The KTM definitely doesn’t have as much power feel though

I could seriously consider a 790 or a 890, the chassis is just perfect for mountain roads, the power is nice, but the only thing keeping me from buying one is this ugly headlight. I can't stand it.
