Reliability & build quality. KTM’s reliablity and quality is improving and the 160bhp is near proven in other models such as the 1290 GT and Super Duke. We've got 7 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S

Re: KTM 1090 Adventure R Thread. by Tim B KTM » Sun Jul 16, 2017 7:42 pm. Bar Risers. Only thing I haven't quite mastered are the bar risers. I'm 6'1" and have KTM 52mm risers on but about 10mm too low. Not stopping me getting out and about or standing up but think comfort could be improved slightly.
The name of the 790 R game is lightness. Less weight means more maneuverability and the 790 R tips the scales at a claimed 460 lb wet, ready to ride. That’s nearly 50 lb lighter than the 1090 Adventure R, with the 790’s 5.2-gallon tank giving the rider a claimed 280 miles of range before requiring a top-up.
2019 KTM 790 Duke Review – First Ride. The 790 would become a project bike, making it necessary to keep the Duke in our stable for as long as possible. We’ll start with our modifications the way many new bike owners do, by installing factory accessory parts before branching out into the aftermarket in future installments. A 43mm WP fork and Progressive Damping System (PDS) linkageless shock help the 1090 Adventure R feel more like a midsize dual-sport bike when attacking smaller obstacles and jumps. That said, even Ub3DUH3.
