KTM 790 Duke long term review, third report th Mar 2021 9:00 am The 790 Duke has finally clocked some miles and each one of them has been a thriller. 0 Comments It’s been over 2,000km since the last 790 report and after having put some miles on the thing, here’s the verdict: I’m madly in love, and also slightly afraid - exactly what I want from the bikes I own! Having ridden every other competitor available in India today, I can tell you, there may be faster rivals, but nothing offers the immediate, aggressive and exciting responses of the 790 Duke. Best of all, you can rip through two or three gears without the speedometer showing three digits, and that means plenty of fun can be had without hitting stupid speeds. Nevertheless, this sort of a pit bull-on-a leash demeanour certainly isn’t for everyone, but I find the violence addictive, although it does require a lot of self-control on the public road.
