I think it "could" work with a mature rider. If you're young and are going to fall in love with the power before you really learn to ride, I think it could stunt your growth as a rider. Put it this way. You can buy it as a first bike, but there are better first bikes.
Customers - Yayyy awesome bike, so much power 😍 KTM - Umm, calm down, have you heard about something called, Software LOCK ? yep that's a cheap trick we do 😌
There is a reason it's pointed forward. if you want to feel conected to what the front wheel is doing when you're riding spirited of hard going into corners. something the Mt09 misses for example. If this is a problem try to clamp your inner thigh to the tank or just sit a bit more to the rear seat (plenty of room) If you're looking for neutral riding position you're better of looking at another brand or just go for the adventure model.
i like how 790 looks,and that grey color is awesom,but prise was to steep for me,so i got adv 390,and then i get in fb group for 790 and 890 and i saw that camshaft of these bikes is like not holding more then 7500km,and my adv 390 started leaking oil from engine at 4000km,so fuck you ktm,never by again

I rarely post pricing as it can change, but the link in the description to Macleans Sports will always have up to date pricing.
Cool bike
Do you think this can be a good first bike? I know everything about bikes but I never sat on a bike before

Suzuki dr200s review please
Mine doesn’t have track mode. And it never gave me the better software before 1500km. I asked the dealership and they told me I’d have to pay for it.
What is your height?
I'm about 6 feet tall.
I hear a significant amount of differing and conflicting information about KTM. What’s your take on the made in China/reliability situation?

I'm 160lbs and 5-10 and the seat is awful after about an hour of riding it's angled and pushes your crotch into the tank and pinches your balls.
I'd actually wear a cup
