I've been wanting to do a 2024 KTM 790 Adventure test ride since they announced they were bringing it back a few years ago. I have had so many questions about why KTM felt the need to bring back the 790 Adventure when they already replaced it with the 890 Adventure, arguably the best adventure motorcycle in the world.

Once the KTM 790 adventure MSRP was announced, it all started to make a lot more sense. Here was a very capable loaded adventure motorcycle for less than $11,000 US dollars. It's lighter and more technologically advanced than many of its peers and when comparing Honda Transalp 750 vs KTM 790 Adventure or Yamaha Tenere 700 vs KTM 790 Adventure the choice is clear, at least on paper.

HUGE thanks to Power Motorsports in Sublimity, Oregon for the opportunity to get on on this adventure bike test ride. Check out their website at [ Ссылка ] or pop in and ask for Matt. Tell him Dork sent ya!

I had the opportunity to take the KTM 790 adventure off road as well as onto the highway and through some decent twisties and I came away incredibly impressed. Longtime viewers know that I am no fan of KTM in general and while I still think reliability is going to be a big issue with these, especially now that they're being manufactured in China, it's still hard to find any adventure bike with this many features for less than $14,000. This bike hits a real sweet spot between the KTM 390 Adventure and the KTM 890 Adventure and is a perfect stepping stone between the two.
