I put deposit on new MT 09, and than change my mind and bought 890 R! İts fantastic bike, not for only sunday blast, ı installed ergo seat, windshield, tail bag, and it converts the half-sport tourer! WP suspensions and Brembo’s are perfect.

Hi, this might sound weird but you are the only one - I know of - who has ridden both bikes that I have on my shortlist. The bikes are the KTM duke 890 r and the Moto Morini Corsaro ZZ. Shortly about my riding abilities and goals, which I hope explains these candidates that are pretty far apart. I used to be an amateur club racer and tracked an Aprilia RSV Factory (v2) for years until the kids came along. Nowadays, my riding is limited to one - hell of - a week in the Italian Alps (Dolomites) where I ride with local friends (you can imagine the tempo). Though, I have to add that we ride well within our abilities as those are public roads and wouldn't like to kill anyone (including ourselves). We take the bikes on a trailer or in a van to the premises, so the 6 days we spend in the saddle are practically pure canyon riding on mostly racetrack-like tarmac (one of my all time favourites is Passo Mendola, if you happen to know the place). That means that the only thing I am looking for in a bike is having fun in the saddle. Comfort is rather secondary, reliability is only important in so far as the bike should be OK for those 1K miles every year. Now, this might surprise most people, my wife loves riding with me as a pillion. She used to love the RSV that was professionally set up for track use and nowadays we ride on a Tuono Factory (also V2). She can cope with any bike and any position. She even liked my mate's Brutale 910 R and simply found the original Multistrada 1100 S boring being "too comfortable, and not sporty enough". I consider myself pretty lucky, in this respect, too. I am not a huge fan of electronic aids as on public roads they do not add much to the experience, if not take some away of it. I honestly think that I couldn't (or rather wouldn't be) faster on any bike than on my Tuono V2 in the twisties, simply because we ride on public roads. That is why I am looking for character, sublime handling etc. The fuelling (that is very important in the tight switchbacks or tornantes) on my race tuned RSV was phenomenal, but my old 999S was also exemplary in this department. However, I read so much good stuff about the 890 r that it really caught my attention. I am not afraid of eccentric Italian bikes after having owned and ridden older Ducatis, Aprilias, a Cagiva Xtra Raptor and some MVs. Still, I know that the Corsaro is a dark horse. My concern regarding the Corsaro is that it might be too much of a handful sometimes (if that makes any sense at all). On the other hand, the electronics may be so good on the Duke as they are, still I like to ride my bikes myself. Also, I am not sure if the bike's chassis can handle a pillion? So after such a long post, I wonder which would you choose if you were in my shoes (boots)?

I test ride the previous 790 Duke but opted for the street 765rs as felt a much better quality built bike, I'm sure though the 890 is a great bike, thanks RR.

Great Review.. My only experience with KTM is the dual sports of the guys who I ride with. They always seem to have minor issues with their bikes. Of course they typically have twice the HP and half the weight of all the other bikes. But who am I to cast stones, I ride Moto Guzzi’s 🤣

More reliable than a BMW, never get the reliability question when talking about BMW. Most stories are just that, stories. I’ve owned 3 KTM’s, no major mechanical issues.

Well the question is this or the Triumph Street 765 RS as the ultimate Sunday blast toy?

I would say it comes down to which engine you like mpre or which one you can get for less or more easily.

@@giovanniricci2869 I think the Street Triple is more versatile. It's more of a all round naked bike not just a Sunday blast toy.

I would also say it comes down to which engine configuration you like most. Two or three cylinders? My preference is usually three so I know I'd go for the Triumph in the end.

From the 690 to the 890 you're going to notice a lot of improvements so I would say yes.

The 690 is a really fun bike. You’d definitely find you just upgraded, but you’re winning either way.
