Picked up my 790 last month and loving it so far. Sold my Street Triple R which was an incredible motorcycle, but I had ridden it for 2 years and felt it was time for a change.
Test rode a lot of bikes from the MT09SP to the new Street Triple RS and even some more unusual bikes like the Zero DS which is incredible btw, but nothing put a bigger smile on my face than the 790.
Here she is fresh off the boat
Waiting on some parts, tail tidy, akra exhaust (although I’m thinking I should have got the remus now, oh well) mirrors and some heated grips for winter. Approaching 400 miles so will get the parts fitted on the first service and get that rev limit lifted :grin:
Nice to meet you all, and look forward to hearing more about everyone’s experiences.
Fantastic click bait title, well done lol. I've also been having a look at some Zero bikes. Its really impressive what they have been able to deliver, especially with the SR.
Ever since selling the previous 690 i had some regrets. I bonded really well with that bike, we got along brilliantly and despite some quirks i felt it was absolutely spot on for me.
But then i jumped ship as the KTM 990 SuperdukeR which had been on my bucket list came up at a price and time...
Cali, as in California, not Cali, Colombia. :grin:
I know there are large number of 790Dukers here from California.
Sound off!
Track day? Group ride? Make it happen here.
I just wanted to compile a small list of those of us in the NE USA for spring/summer/fall possible group rides.
Add your name to the thread, if I misplaced you. 😁

I would have bought it myself but already bought a SW-Motech one instead (for more :crying: )
My 790D got stolen off the street just this past weekend. The 790D bike gets a lot of attention but sometimes that's not the best. Working with the NYPD to get video footage to help with the investigation. I'm not expecting the bike back, but here's to hoping. Can't imagine getting another bike...
