  • Hey Everyone,
    In this video, I ride and review the 2023 KTM 790 Duke, a bike that has undergone significant improvements since I last rode it in 2017. The new model boasts advanced electronics and ‘scalpel’ handling, making it a joy to ride on both dry and wet roads. Speaking of wet roads, I took the bike for a spin through the Welsh countryside in some truly dreadful weather, and it rode flawlessly.
    If you’re looking for a middleweight bike that combines performance and real-world fun, the KTM 790 Duke is definitely worth considering. Watch my video to see the bike in action and learn more about its features and capabilities.
    Funnily enough, there are actually some pretty decent deals available on the KTM 790 Duke at the moment. The KTM Power Deals offer low-rate finance options and up to £1,000 discount on the 790 Duke. I'm sure though that deals are available for a limited time only, so if you’re interested in getting a KTM 790 Duke in your garage, now might be a good time to have a gander at them!
    Thanks again for watching!

    As a heavy unit I would have to have the upgraded suspension to adjust for my mass. Great review as always. Thanks Kate.

    You talking about your sound quality, made me realise how good and easily audible yours is, compared to the other Bike channels I watch !
    It don't matter how nice the Witch's character may be, if I don't feel comfortable being seen out with her, then the show is over..., and that's why I can't ever see myself riding a KTM, no matter how beautiful its character may be. They just can't make an attractive bike.

    Elan Valley, stunning!
    I was up there recently, riding Claerwen Resevoir green lane,
    on my 790 Adventure, with my mate, on his T7.
    Like you, we had sun, showers, torential rain, even sleet!
    The video is on my channel, Grumps Rides (shameless plug).
    Looking forward to the next part of these videos, keep up th egreat work Kate.

    Beautiful road trip, and what an end!!!!
    KTM did things with great care.
    You completely deserved that, of course.
    So, many thanks again for sharing.
    Have a great continuation, and see you on the Adventure.

    Wales is perfect! One downside it's so bloody far away from where I live in Denmark. But once there, it's brilliant! And on a brilliant bike, I must say! Just bought one myself, since my sons girlfriend sells her 390 Duke, in favour of my white, old trusty 690 Duke. Stays in the family!
    Thanks!

    Lovely weather! Not! I think you missed a trick there, with Mr Knox being on the ride. I'm shure that you would have been a better advert for Knox gear than the more 'rotund' Choppsey! Lol. The pod you are staying looks fabulous, in an amazing location. I'm looking forward to the off road fun. 👍.

    Great video. I know you're more into big bore bikes, but having just bought the 2023 790adv, I'm hoping you'll say some nice things about it. In particular, you could say things like it beats the hell out of a Transalp or a Vstrom800 with all the extras, electronic throttle, 15K service intervals, steering dampener, 2 position seat, tubeless tires, cruise control and so much more which it's rivals don't have.

    Loved this and that glamping accommodation! Might see if I can find it and take the Mrs there on the bike next year. It's funny you said about this duke being better than the 105bhp version as I tried that a few years ago to replace my 390 but didn't buy one. Is this less powerful version really that different?
