The KTM was great to throw around.
Despite the 790’s comparably modest price tag, it does come with a decent enough looking spec sheet. I realise that 103bhp isn’t going to inspire the vast majority of Fast Bikes readers, but 87Nm of torque isn’t to be sniffed at and you do get all the juiciest rider aids like launch control and a shifter/blipper, as well as all the usual stuff.
A quick scan around the bike, though, does reveal one or two tell-tale signs that the KTM isn’t the absolute premium package.
