I have got a street triple, I love it so much. These other bikes are fun but I just love the triple sound, smoothness, handling and classy look.

[@portaltwo]

I can only speak to my own experience, obviously, but I've been riding my KTM Duke 890R since June, 2020, and so far (knock on wood) it's been bulletproof, with only scheduled servicing. Bonus: it's a TON of fun to ride. Though it's absolutely true that when all is said and done, the choice falls mostly to simple personal preference. Hard to go too far wrong these days.

[@spktylr]

I just want to say that I had an RSV4 for 5 years and these 3 were my choices for my next bike, and I chose the Triumph over the rest. Much happy. Even downsizing for twisties & occasional track days I don’t miss the liter at all… yet.

[@Bruce_bianchi]

I agree the liter bikes of today just aren't fun unless you're on a track. They have so much potential and once you've tracked one at 100% it makes the streets feel boring. 100-130hp is the street sweetspot! lite, agile, Great brakes, and suspension!

i got rid of my duke 790 back in march, very conflicted between the striple RS and the MT09 sp, leaning toward the yamaha because of the reliability and availability of dealers and parts

[@Drunken_Hamster]

How was the power delivery/character of the 890R vs the MT09-SP? They have similar rev ranges, displacements, and powerbands, just different bore/stroke and firing intervals.

[@blackwolf_1_164]

If I were in the market for a new bike, I'd probably pick the triumph out of these options. I love bikes with character and individuality.

[@nanaholic01]

Street Triple RS for me, since I just took delivery of one last week! Considered the MT09 before but it just doesn't have the same finish of the Street Triple and I hate the headlights on the MT09 even more.

[@johnhernandez6434]

Got the 21 MT 09. The bike is light and didn’t want to go with lighter and less one cylinder even though the 890 is very powerful. After an full Akra install, tune and dyno, the bike is really fun. Happy go wheelie I love to have on tap.

[@northwestrider369]

I owned a first gen FZ09. I’ve owned 6 other bikes of different styles plus have tested probably 30 bikes on test ride days. I’m picking the MT09. The sound of the 3 cylinder, the commuting seat position, the ability to still carve the streets at faster speeds than you need, plus all the accessories to make a touring bike when needed. And all for great value. In my opinion, if your buying one of these to go to track days, don’t. Just got buy a super sport. MT09 all day every day. But, then again, everyone one of us is different. Buy what you want and enjoy the ride.

[@calculator5909]

Why does your voice sound so robotic lol

[@SquidsCareToo]

I don’t think you can really compare these because you haven’t ridden the 890 duke. Also you didn’t mention that the duke has a base option and R option with the base option being cheaper and still coming with all of the tech and options also reliability wise the 2022+ models have been stellar, as long as you keep the chain and oil in good order. Only in the shop for scheduled maintenance

[@ronaldoleon48]

[@SquidsCareToo]

@@ronaldoleon48there’s actually not much in the forums on the 2022+ 890 Dukes mostly on the adventures so not really lol the only thing so far I’ve seen in the forum is an oil leak and people that don’t know how to take care of a battery when you don’t ride for a while

[@cbwelch4]

I was wondering where the Beemer was in the conversation. I saw a great review with the power being acceptable and handling good albeit heavy feeling. I think I'd go with the Beemer on class, looks and sound. Probably the Triumph on handling. Probably the Yamaha on TCO. It is hard to argue with Japanese on bang per buck having ownership of a Suzuki. My brain says, "Get the Yamaha. Don't think. Just go."

[@bramzwaan9118]

i did ride mt-09 and own a ktm 890r tested multiple times superduke 1290r but the 890r with full akrapovich system and mapping is something else just straight out fun i live in Europe so parts is no problem and it didn't break down on me yet.i owned more than 5 ktm never problems with the brand. the suspension is very versatile you can do track days with race settings and ride on the street with comfort settings . the noise the rawnes and the perfect steering you all should take a demo at the dealer and then judge it :)

The full titanium akrapovic system on it makes for a sweet sound track. It was a tough choice between the MT09 and the Street Triple RS. Absolutely no regrets though my bike is wonderful.

3 weeks ago I went and purchased myself a bike. My options came down to the 23 MT-09 SP or the 23 Duke 890 R. I ended up choosing the MT-09 and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I decided to give KTM a try later on. But instead of the 890R, I'm gonna jump to the 1290R!

[@maddogchad77]

If you buy A KTM it should be part of your collection because if its the only thing you own you will be disappointed when it takes 4 ever to get parts for it just saying nothing beats Japanese reliability in my opinion own a fz07 always wanted a 09 but at the end of the day 900 is heavier & living in California you have situations where you need take control of the machine or die & 25 pounds could be the difference in getting out of a bad situation or not.

I've ridden even the new MT09, The 765 R and the Duke 890 base edition. The base 890 wipes the floor with the other 2 in every single category except brakes, which is where the 890R comes in. The 890 is way more engaging, handles waaaaaayyy better than the other 2, it's not on sharper and more accurate, it's also way more compliant and smooth, whilst detracting nothing from pace when pushing it. The engine sounds sick, pops on all shifts, amazing burble on the overrun. The MT09 is straight up bland and handles like crap and the Street triple doesn't have that same pazzaz the 890 does. The 890 is also way lighter than the other 2, it really is as KTM say, a scalpel. The Triumph is a Sharp kitchen knife and the Yamaha is a blunt axe... And last but not least, the 890 is so goddamn economical, 180-190 miles to the 14 Litre tank when trashing it, the other 2 don't even compare...

Wow. Is this comparison weighed against the 2024 street triple or the earlier models??

@@QuickRipzz The current gen MT09, current gen 890 and a 2022 765 R, not sure if they had any meaningful updates since then.

Can you be any more biased, I think we can all agree 890 sounds like a damn lawn mower

@AntaresSQ01 nah yall just need to stop being in denial. Aprilia 660 parallel sounds way better for example

Can we have real roadtests??

The MT09 was the bike I picked last spring. The KTM was more money than I was willing to spend, and the triumph just wasn't as smooth.
