Hi, recently purchased my orange 790, bike number 40, joins my KTM 1050 in the garage.
Unfortunately its winter at the moment and its been a bit hard to get out there and ride when its wet, windy and about 8C but I've finally got it run in and now the 1st service is completed I can give it some revs.
I'm 6'1" and surprisingly I find the bike to be quite comfortable, although with a long body I do find the bars to be just a wee bit low so might try fitting some bar risers, probably 20mm if I can get enough room with the cables.
It's still early days with the bike but the only complaint I have so far is the tyres, to me they just don't seem to have any "feel" but that is OK, just about every bike I've owned has improved after replacing the original OEM tyres.
Anyway, looking forward to doing some kms on this bike, should be fun times ahead :grin:
