Yes first review by you & I really enjoyed the difference from others! I just purchased one of these, I’m nearly 50 and coming off a HD night rod ( had for five yes). On my test rides I found the 790 really fun!!! Love the look & how light, nimble, and flick able it is!!! Picked it from others I tried as is so practical for commuting, Country riding & track! Ps I am not a beginner either...

Seems like that display twitching back and forth between day and night mode would have me searching for a way to set it to one or the other. Also, throttle by wire without cruise control? Should at least be available as an option. I have the same beef with the AT I test rode last year. Otherwise looks like a hoot, but is priced not too far from a Tracer 900 GT, which has more goodies. So many choices of good bikes, it is an embarrassment of riches shopping for motorcycles these days.

Oh, the car was turning into the gas station right where I was pulling out, his turn signal doesn't show up very well in the video, that's how I knew I could pull out onto the street. Plus distance and speed deceleration is hard to judge in a video vs. being there in real life. We humans judge distance and speed with two eyes, video only has one eye. Maybe I should mount two cameras to my helmet...LOL!

@@NothingToProve You can't trust the turn signals.. It may was a totally controlled situation, but as I was watching the video, I can say I scared a lot.

Test rides are not availabel with most all delaers - state side anyway. only if a biker maker has a test droive day set upo with a deraler, do you get a chnace to check out a bike. And I find thast it;s usually Kawi who has the test drive events. Even used sports bikes. I am looking at a used 2020 790 and the dealer suyss he can' let me test drive - wow. I wanted to check out the harshness of the suspension. Some reviews really complain about poor or over damped forks and shock when it comes to big bumps. I told him that too, but to no avail. So I wanted to find out if for me, it would be a deal breaker. You don't mention anything about harshness in the suspension over bumps in your review, except, "best bike with non adjustable suspension". So I'm guessing it's not a deal breaker. That was 4 years ago....do you still feel the same after reviewing the new Hornet? The new Hornet seems like just the opposite, suspension is too soft though you didn't indicate that in your Hornet review.

Man I really like this bike, but still debating between this, the MT 09 and the Street Triple RS. Leaning a little more towards the MT 09 because of the Yamaha reliability.
@dlb830825 жыл бұрын
it depends on what kind of powerband you want Street Triple is all top end power - MT-09 is brutal mid range (long torque curve) - 790 is like a v twin will be similar to the MT-09 powerband with a v twin sound

@@iamthemobey The MT 09 suspension is decent if you tune it for your weight, also, brake feel and power can easily be upgraded with some synthered pads

In the UK, some of our roads are in pretty bad condition due to lack of maintenance. ruts, etc. I think the WP suspension on the Duke 790 is hard. Too frigging hard man. OK for a track day and on smooth roads but downright unpleasant and annoying I find. Unacceptable for me really, would have to look at modifications to suspension. Also the low speed, in town fueling is a bit sh!t due to the leanness of Euro4 emissions. I’m on about at below 29mph. Jerky. Rain mode helps but still not smooth. Engine is a superb peach as is the standard exhaust note. Has to be the best sounding Euro4 compliant exhaust since the 1200 Triumph Thruxton. Goes like a stabbed rat.

@NothingToProve5 жыл бұрын
Tough choice. Both are very good bikes. It really comes down to a matter of the heart, which ever bike moves you, that's the one for you. If you want performance, the 790 will do better track times though...so if you ride with some sport bike guys, the 790 will keep up with them in the corners no problem. Whereas the 09, you'd have to work a little harder to do so.
