The 790's brakes are ok, but just ... ok. They are no where near something like the BM S1000R brakes for example ... (which are just superb ... ).

Because I have moved on from 1980 'Oh he's a lovely rider - you never see him brake'
(Theatre cue Brmm Brmmmmmm BRMMMMMMMMMMMMM of gears and bouncing tappets in a desperate attempt to slow the bike down as we approach a 90 degree corner - heaven forbid we show a brake light....)
It sounds a cracking bike.
I'm very happy with my 790 and its performance on the road, so I guess this is only going to be better. I think the brakes and suspension package is the biggest gain, if I've got one complaint of mine its there. (But take into account it was only £7,999).
In typical KTM fashion a new 790 Duke is a sub £7000 bike now
And a used one is about £4.79

I had a 790 Duke which was a fantastic bike and everything it was supposed to be. However, whenever I rode it I did so as if I'd stolen it
