The full comparison article is extremely well written. Well done! I would add, owning the 1090, that putting a gpr exhaust and a performance air filter has made the engine more powerful and responsive. The 790 is the better off road bike, but the 1090 is the better travel and gravel roads bike

This is great! One "pro" and one "newbie" to adventure bikes. I'm betting a lot of people who get a KTM 790 Adventure is going to be new to the whole thing, and it's great to get the opinion of both novice and expert.
Yes, great vid on actually riding. Not a lot of BS talking. Simple is better. I love my 17' 1090R. I'm trying to get my girl to get the 790R. She really loves my 17' Gsxr1000R too but it's way out of her experience level. Awesome comparison men. Thx.
Spurgeon: Do youself a favour and get Corys 1-Finger clutch (Camel ADV). Gamechanger!! While there also get the rear shock heat shield (avoids rear shock overheat and premature oil leakage). I love my 790R!!
Yes, you can't go wrong with the KTM Adventure bikes...great review. Top quality stuff. Speaking of KTM Adventure bikes, guys have you seen the you tuber ANNA GRECHISHKINA ? She rides a KTM Adventure 1190 and she has been riding the World non-stop for nearly 7 years and solo! Not only is she BEAUTIFUL, but she has the guts to ride anywhere in the world. Check out her you tube channel. There is an episode where she returns back to KTM Austria after her first trip around the world and they couldn't wait to tear her KTM down to the crank to see how it fared a real world test.
Nice to see some content from my local trails. I've ridden with Brandon and he freaking rips. Can't imagine trying to deal with 500 pounds of momentum over the Pine Barren whoops.
@@Angry-Lynx It's sand, you're gonna go down at some point. And the whoops in Pine Barrens are gnarly and consecutive. I'm sure a pro rider could handle them on an ADV bike, but Joe average is dealing with a lot of mass and momentum on consecutive hits.
Where were you guys riding? Looks like south Jersey with the sandy trail and scrub pines. People have no clue about the hundreds and hundreds miles of trailers we have down in the Pine Barrens. Maybe I’ll see you guys on the trail!
Great vid! Agree & good point on the 790R clutch, the biggest thing that stands when hopping off a hydraulic clutch. Besides that, the 790R is a beast & more flickable than the 1090, also surprisingly good on street
Do you reckon that Camel clutch product might be a good solution for the 790? camel-adv.com/collections/featured-products/products/ktm-790-1-finger-clutch
Roni92pl interesting point, never risen another KTM. My hyd clutch on my Harley’s are so much smother & light, especially on day trips, & they’re like 6” chrome handles. To your point, maybe not the clutch type but a brand thing
Thomas Rosenwirth helps leverage but won’t replicate the pull & feather ability of my hyd clutches of my HD’s, just realizing how smooth they r in comparison which surprises me. Good tip for off-road though, honestly getting used to it so no big deal, it’s the ONLY negative I’ve noticed about the bike(other than pegs but rally was a quick install), it’s pretty impressive in all facets
790R is definitely more $, no doubt. But, I don’t think it’s debatable that the Tenere is better off-road. The 790R has better WP suspension, more travel, more ride modes & wheel adjustability(rear abs off option, selectable on the fly TC), TFT, & much more HP. There r head to head comparisons if you look around on UA-cam. With that said, the Yamaha performs almost as well & is a great value when u think of the $3K u mentioned
yeah we can discuss which one is better off road and shit but truth is theyre very similar in capabilities so its up to rider's skill mostly anyway, so choose which one you like more
Full comparison article now available on Common Tread! rvz.la/3f5EllA
What?! You making us read?! Thats evil
Glad to see some real motorcycle riding content again... would love to see a comparison between the 790 and the Tiger 900.

790r... if i cant have it

idk, ktms never novice bike... maybe 390 ok ;
Hey man love your videos and keep doing more "dirtbike" videos please bcuz I like dirtbikes and spurge you host revzilla videos amazingly
Just 3 min??? Give us all the Go-Pro footage! More please.
Everyone knows that only real competitor for 790r is 990r but it was compared many times so its cool to see it compared to 1090 ; cheers ;
Awesome little vid! Thanks!
*When’s the Harley-Davidson ADV coming?*
2022 Ought to be more like it.
The launch was supposed to be later this year, but I'm not sure how it will be affected by the current pandemic.
Spurgeon Dunbar yeah this covid-19 really did mess up the plans industry wide. Hopefully it’ll pass sooner than later
JUNK!
Spurgeon Dunbar Harley should have just went with an apocalypse biohazard themed launch though (vote me for next Harley CEO)
Love this type of shorter comparison video
Greatpost. I'm gonna get a 790R for my son and I. They ride nice and smooth...keep the great content coming.
Damn that 1090 is loooong due for an update.

Ohh been looking forward to this review. Cheers :)

I love my 790R!!
I've got the 1090 r but only ride it on the road, i love it 🤗
thanks, 790 R is my bike in very short future, stay safe fellas, cheers from colorful Colorado, V!
I was expecting zack and ari hahaha
Damn that looks fun!! Can’t wait for everything to be open back up!!

noice, i wonder how she can afford it;
I just got a 1090. Big smile on my 6 foot 4, 300 pound face.
Nice to see some content from my local trails. I've ridden with Brandon and he freaking rips. Can't imagine trying to deal with 500 pounds of momentum over the Pine Barren whoops.
Hey Roman where do access these trails?
its problem only if youre stuck or have to pick it up ;
@@Angry-Lynx It's sand, you're gonna go down at some point. And the whoops in Pine Barrens are gnarly and consecutive. I'm sure a pro rider could handle them on an ADV bike, but Joe average is dealing with a lot of mass and momentum on consecutive hits.
get joe zito on a 390 adventure and compare all three
Meanwhile, we are still waiting for the localized 790 ADV India launch.

Easy fix: 1-Finger clutch
hydraulic clutch on my 950 isnt easier to pull than modern, well oiled cable clutch

Why not add the KTM 390 Adventure as well, maybe put Lemmy on that.
The 1090 is where it’s at.
Awesome bikes! Someday would enjoy it if I could ride one of these.
A welcomed distraction from the madness all around us. Thanks Guys....👍🏼 👏👏. 😎
Both awesome bikes!
Still don't know if the 790R is better than the T7 in the rough stuff. $3K+ difference, I guess it needs to be!
What is a "T7" - sounds like a next gen Terminator? LOL

@@frankeichhorn7979 thanks Frank but l was just being silly! I ride a Triumph Tiger and also have a Yamaha Warrior - so I'm familiar with the T7 😊
Please please please do a video on the 390 adventure. Pretty please
Okay, is that public riding land in Pennsylvania ? I’m guessing it’s private?
zyonsdream looks like the pine barrens in NJ
Alex Onkow oh... there is very little in Eastern PA with roads like this. That makes sense. The pine barrens are about 2 hours East for me. Thanks!
Wooooo! Bike content!
KTM, why did you stop production of 1090R? Shame on you!
should compair it with the 990 adventure :P
Hi, which skid plate is on that 790R?
I think that's stock, at least it looks like the same one
Enduro Engineering skid plate.
wich one is the best for going to work every day, carry the girlfriend for road tour, using for fire roads?
both will do all of above very well, but 790 is dirt king ;
bike super nice..
Not going to lie, getting tired of the KTM Fanboy stuff on common tread, here, and Highside Lowside. We get it. Orange overgrown dirt bikes.
Theyre the best :D
