I'm overwhelmingly offended by the lack of wheelies in this review. I think its downright irresponsible to review a bike like this and not showcase its supreme one-wheel abilities. Other than that, it was a stellar review and I loved everything about the bike and the video.

[@TheYakkis]

Fully adjustable front suspension ?! Might want to edit that out.

[@jonathanprice756]

Seen a few comments about KTM reliability here. I’m on my 6th KTM. 1290 Superduke R currently. Have had no reliability issues on any of the KTMs I’ve owned. Wish I could say the same for the 2 BMWs I’ve had (S1000R and S1000XR). Quite a few niggles and warranty repairs. I’m in the UK, so the warranty is all-inclusive here.

So good to see Jamie Robinson review after ages... don't stop, keep the good work. Love your reviews Jamie Robinson.

[@CMKA664]

the front suspension isn't adjustable at all

[@tobizeller8638]

Great review, but what about the downside? I have the feeling that you only talk about the good things and never the bad ones they are also important.

[@otakarlibal]

"They even added a slight little bit of vibration to bring out the character of the bike" "it goes fast through the corners"Looks like KTM paid you very well for this review :D I am sure they said on the meeting "hmm the engine is too smooth, let's make it vibrate intentionally" this is an ad not a review

[@brayvdb2191]

I'd love to see a RC790 made out of this engine..

[@prat8529]

You never mentioned the LOOKS!

[@arcticyamm2232]

Another awesome video Jamie, keep up the good work! One question: 790 vs 848 streetfighter?

[@sienervansee1238]

After long I eventually got the Duke 790 for an hour test ride and let's say hello you can only ride nicely in rain mode. Not too sure how it will serve as a daily commuter being so twitchy and and snappy and I can't see a pillion getting by on the back due to front teeth being embedded in riders helmet. Great great bike to chomp miles and miles of canyons though😍😍😍

[@LanceLumbanPHI]

Now KTM has won a GP. Nice review.

[@muertinix]

I'm not buying until we get an R version with adjustable suspension, higher grade Brembo brakes , Akrapovic slip on and better tires.

[@ThePonkster]

A new spin on what the Yamaha TDM did years ago - does look like a good bike

[@timtascione8055]

Great review Jamie!

[@SineOccasu]

I love you and your videos Jamie, but you didn't just say they added vibration to give it character did you 🤣

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hahah, I am so sad you were in Gran Canaria and I did not know. I've always wanted to meet you as I've been watching you channel for ages already! :) Nice video, can't wait to try the scalpel :)

[@JohnWellsJr]

One slip-up, there. Front suspension is WP, but NOT adjustable according to other journalists. But I LOVE this bike!

[@pcasso87]

You should do a bike overview on your scrambler, the thing looks sick. Cheers from Mexico.
