KTM 790 Duke: A Wet Welsh Adventure 💦

- 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!

Oh Kate , never has living the dream been more appropriate😊 and that glamping set up, Wow. I think in the Summer that whole set up would be perfect .
In summer it would be insane
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.
Agreed so many of them seem to be on the ugly pills.
Really enjoyed that Kate, looking forward to the wet ride home!! You were on fire that day with the commentary :-)
Haha I loved the day Chopsy! I figure if I ramble enough, they'll be something I can use 😂
@@UsernameKate haha same technique as me then! 😆
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.
Looks like KTM consulted Hannah on the accommodations.
LOL
Ive ridden those roads many times over the years and the views and roads never fail to impress me,there's just as good roads and scenery all over Wales. Great vid and commentary 👍👍
Yay, glad you liked it!
Hello!
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.
😉👍👍👍
Thank you 🥰
@@UsernameKate ...with pleasure!🌈
God I need to go to Wales. Great bike for it!
Done that route 10 weeks ago once again beautiful, 😊look at the welcome Sign in the window Croeso 😊
Super 👌😄 Kate perfect
Good roads and good food, first class accommodation Kate. Looks like you got everything sorted. 👍
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!
Thanks WOW THAT'S AWESOME 😎😎😎
Excellent vlog as usual. Very much looking forward to watching the next episode. 👍🏼
Editing it today 😊
A wonderful Vlog, loved it.
Appreciate that
Great content Kate!
I’m lucky to prety much have the Elan Valley on my doorstep. 30 mins away.
Amazing drone footage of the Dams. 👍
I am taking my full license in february and have been looking at a 790 Duke for a time now as my first big bike. Seeing your video on it and LambChopRides video on this bike, it has convinced me. Great video and i am subbing. Merry Christmas.
Hei Ka Nice video on KTM Duke motorcycles.I liked your video🎉
I'm on your side Kate its comfort over speed for me as well.
Kate and Chops in one video?! Winner!
I love my 790 👍
Great video Kate, I had a 390 Duke a few years ago and I'm considering the 790 as my touring bike changing from my V Strom...
It's a wonderful bike, the ktm 🏍
at a driving shool i move with a sv650 and resume "60 ps" if learners throw away the clutch leaver ... no 80!!! ps i notice weeks later - sorry i can not follow all the nice words for "under 200ps" it "moves" yes , but ... riding should have the "little secret"
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. 👍.
🤭🤭🤭
Looking forward to watching this after me tea tonight.
Did you enjoy it Gary? 😊
@UsernameKate I did indeed. Superb bike for the money. But it does look a little dated.when are you posting up your offroad adventure 😎
Great video!
Thanks 😁
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.
Don’t leave the service interval until 15,000km…
KTM really pushed the boat out, not only two test bikes but stunning accommodations also. I bet that jacuzzi would be lovely after a long day riding. Can’t wait for P.2
I had a 10pm jazzuci in the rain, it was lovely 😊
Hello miss kate 43 🎉🎉🎉 wt a fun 😊😊😊
The Elan Valley (at 18:30)- one of my favourite roads!
Ktm's are often set for a 85 + kg rider, so it would take som backing of the Comp to make it comfortable for you Kate..
You had me at "wet Welsh".
🤣🤣 was never gonna be dry was it 🌂
Nice video looks like you had fun until the rain came
Wait until part 2 🥲 rain rain rain
Nice bike
Is that claerwen dam? Beautiful pods those are ,lovely views too.
Elan Valley but unsure of the exact dam name :(
I would be tempted to take the KTM shoe mat with me lol
I was tempted but they gave them to us anyway at the end of the trip! It's currently at my back door now 😂
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?
Seriously... mega different!!
Wow - KTM sets the bar high for you reviewers… other manufacturers please note Kate expects comfort!
It was a great trip!
Been waiting for this and not disappointed!!👍. Didn't you do the hot tub?....
Haha,I did. At 10pm in the rain 🌧
Oh dear. Chopsy had one earlier and missed it. Poor you....😅 Will have to watch Canaria. Take care 👍
Love those glamping pods and would love to take the hubby there with our KTMs. Where is that campsite and what's it called?
Typing Wigwam holiday Aberystwyth into Google should direct you to their page 😊
Hey Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this nothing beats seeing you on 2 wheels wearing your biker gear and your swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe in the cold weather looking forward to a ride out with lily duke of blonde only one username Kate..❤
❤
Very interested in the 790 Duke and the 890R. Which one has updated suspension?
890R has the better suspension… but that model is on its way out making room for the 990
If KTM changed the head light I’m sure they would sell more, did i mention orange 🍊
Have you ever riden a honda xbr 500 single
Thanks WOW THAT'S AWESOME KEEP IT UP FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY LOVE KINDNESS WOMEN POWER DIGNITY FREEDOM PROSPERITY JUSTICE LIBERTY FRATERNITY EQUALITY HAPPINESS ✌️👍👌🎉🎉
The landscapes in your recent video’s are suspiciously green. How’s that foot coming along? 😘
Foot is long healed 😊
@@UsernameKate Excellent. Looked nasty.
Isn’t this the bike with add-ons for a short period of time that get taken away if you don’t pay the ransom?
I think that's most ktms 🤣
@@UsernameKate seems a waste when the money has already been spent on manufacture
Seams to be a lot of cam failures at around 16,000 miles which costs £3,000 to put right. KTM won't entertain claims out of 2 year warranty.
I get that their good bikes but i cant get past how ugly they are
A shame they’re made in China
Merry Christmas Kate.
Merry Christmas to you to
Those Welsh roadsurfaces do not only look bladderinducing but also bumendangering. 🥸
Ahaha thanks for the good laugh waking up
@@oscarferries4145 We ramble to please! 😁
Combined with that suspension, I was holding it in 🤣🤣🤣
