I just have to say is i test rode hero xtreame 200r which is great value for money. Like spec vise it is good, giving 200cc. then i rode mt15 just for curiosity wich have much less torque and engine capacity. And man i was amazed that bike is on whole different level than hero. From that i decided to never judge bike by it's specs. I get it, it is more pricey than hero but it's worth it.

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Great review! I just went today to test ride one, oh my word it’s nuts this bike! Electronics can save you that’s for sure. Top speed I reached was shy of 200 that’s on a straight and bike relatively new with only demo mileage. Great commuter and definitely worth considering..👌🔑😝🤓

[@PavanMS87]

Awesome! No other bike has such ground clearance which is vital for our roads.

[@nismostrada9433]

A person spending 10 lacks on a bike can easily put in 2 lacks more and buy the lightest and the flagship bike of its segment the street triple s or the rs , they dont heat and will be easier to use daily in city because of its tall gearing. 790 can be someone's secondary bike , for those who have more expensive bikes than this and wants a light middle weight for city usage and sunday morning breakfast rides, also for those who are "track only" people, but i doubt that it can beat street triple rs timings even on a track though, the 765 rs is faster than the Daytona 675r on the track and this is saying something .This is a bike for those who can buy it on full cash , not for those who are pulling up a loan for a middle weight bike. I hope you understand what im saying.

[@nismostrada9433]

@Baby Fireblade but then , ktm service centres are everywhere , and the service cost and parts will be much cheaper than the triumphs . So that reliability argument should just not be done i guess.

[@raajrane]

but again the street triple isnt the flagship bike for Triumph buddy. they have The SPEED TRIPLE. faster better and gets even more specs that the street model. plus they have the ROCKET 3 a worthy flagship for them. then there's their new Daytona

[@RahulRaj-qg5yu]

1.Feel:Its a twin, can't match the riding feel of an inline3 2.The sound:don't know about others, but I prefer the smooth sound of Inline 3 or Inline 4 3.Aesthetics :when you spend 8 L on a motorbike, you expect people to appreciate the bike. The front looks like 390 which is like 4 L cheaper and the exhaust looks like something from a dirt bike(old habits) 4.Its a KTM, it doesn't the brand value of Triumph or Ducati. If it was a lakh cheaper, it would have been a great buy as an all around bike but...

[@divyeshpatel1539]

@@MikBan GSX750 with 3 level of traction control than Ktm 9 level of traction control hmmmm

[@MikBan]

@@divyeshpatel1539 true. But the thing is You are paying less also with gixer getting far more power and grunt, inline 4 K series engine. Value for Money proposition is outh of the charts. Without traction control z800 and initial z900 was selling very well. If you have access to race tracks, only there 9 lecel of traction control makes sense. If you need 9 levels on regualr road, you might buy a ninja 400 because throttle response will be like that only.

[@divyeshpatel1539]

@@MikBan the reason why Duke 790 is inline 2 is because it focus more on power and performance than any other. Plus 790 is quite light compare to Gixxer so power to weight ratio is better of 790 than gixxer, also 750 looks more of a tourer than Naked sports.

[@MikBan]

@@divyeshpatel1539 Exactly. The duke is far more agile and possesses better handling characteristics. But Im not sure whether the weight advantage can cancel out the severe horsepower deficiency. The Gixxers 750 or the z900 these bikes have more grunt any day..

You nailed the description of the D790. If you look at the spec sheet, it will disappoint you. Apart from the torque, I don't think there is much to write home about. But I have yet to see a single reviewer worth his salt who's not surprisingly impressed by this machine. I am really itching to ride one. I hope my helmet is good enough to contain my mind which will for sure be blown away! P. S. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. You have a knack of presenting effortlessly and in a manner that is somehow pleasing as well as exciting at the same time. Keep riding, jhiprya!

Nice review. Usability is the key. That makes a lot of sense in Indian conditions. The bike has a really good pillion seat. I dont know about others but that makes a lot of sense to me.

I have a 2017 Duke 390 myself so if you wish to have the blood and dna of the ktm and price is not an issue then duke 790 is a no brainer..simply for the tons do fun it has to offer.. however there are strong rivals to this bike like the Street Triple and Z900

The GSX 750 is a far Far better choice than this tbh. Looks better, feels premium, and not just the Spec sheet or performance figures, this bike doesn't justify the feel or the character that it's asking and if I'm spending 8 lakh plus for an Orange Mario bike, I'd want people to notice and not just look at it as another Duke on the road lol.

Mt03 will be coming next year as per the rumour mill. I am waiting for that one, or else I ll settle off with the 390 duke for the next 15 months and thereafter the middleweights.
