well perhaps running in in winter makes some sense you will not be so tempted to rip the throttle open :devil:
Received my 790 Duke yesterday.
Unfortunately I have a broke leg and cannot ride it. It has 0 miles. I think it is the first motorcycle or car I have ever bought that had 0 miles. Bad thing is I can't even unload it off the trailer I brought it home on. And will not be able to ride it for at least another month.
Bought at Griffith Cycle in Chattanooga TN. It is black. You guys who are waiting should be getting your bike soon. I made a down payment on mine back in March/April time frame.
Cheers

as you can see I added orange wheel reflective tape for £3
I did not use all the graphic kit
if you look carefully at the full graphics kit and compare to my bike you will see the differences
For what it's worth bikes are arriving now in US stores, so far only black models. I know my dealership I'm #3 and the first 3 including mine are orange so someone else will be getting the black one first. Got a few PP ordered and really hoping to find a good indicator set that's not crappy as well as eliminator and exhaust, still undecided on exhaust.

Great news, hopefully new rage cycles gets one in the shop so they can start selling their tail tidies for the 790.

this is so close you must almost be able to taste it!
The standard indicators are not that bad and there are a new PP set available as shown.
exhaust well we all know the choices are huge i went for decat akra with baffle removed sounds great

The 790 throws a lot of road water and dirt up
if you are an all weather rider be careful, perhaps for some of you lucky people that live in state that is very dry it does not matter

No issue for me as i will simply take the car during winter months or when it rains.

I can safely say you do not live in UK
as some years if you wait for a dry road you would never use your bike (perhaps i exaggerate little but only a little)
