They Let Me Ride Whatever I Liked!

It's not everyday to spend an afternoon at a main dealer asking all the questions you want and getting the full tour! I also got to ride and review the new KTM Duke 790. But the day started with me stripping my trackbike forks in my workshop.

It’s annoying for KTM customers that they charge extra to enable the electronics though!

[@Nialsy999]

I think the new KTM's they give all the electronics for about a thousand miles and then you have to go back to the dealer and buy them to get them unlocked again. Quite sneaky if you ask me.

Rule 101 when going to a dealership. Have your wallet with you 😁

So what you said about the QS for the price point is another problem if you want higher spec you usually have to get the higher cc version of the bike.
Why can't they just spec the higher and lower cc the same.
Soo now you're only choosing the bike based on how much power you want.
I feel like bigger displacement bikes would take a big hit if this was the way things where with it only being the cc that's the difference in the bike.
What's wrong with having something lower cc with great spec.
Why in some cases if I want a lower cc bike I have to now have no adjustable suspension or minimal
Example yamahas range
R7 vs r6
Mt07 and less vs mt09 and up

so what was the verdict about their workshop vs yours for example? yours isnt half bad is it? i think it should be a space thats comfortable to be in and often a smaller shop feels better imo.
btw, 25fps for all those moving shots on sales floor wasnt enough fps ;)

[@Mike_abel]

I’m always going to pick my workshop over anyone else’s, I built it just the way I want it!
That’s the exact info I’m after! You’re right it’s the low fps that has made 50% of the footage look jumpy! It was actually all filmed at 50fps(; should I try 200?

With you being 5’5” do you struggle getting trousers to fit? I’m 5’6” the only trousers I’ve found to fit are jeans with padding

[@paulwilkinson6608]

Really unusual to find a dealer who will allow you to test a bike.
I do wonder if they would do this to a normal ..non you tube punter

[@Mike_abel]

I’m sure they would! They have a test fleet for a reason👍

[@TheBikerBarn1]

Nearly all dealers allow you to test ride
