However, the KTM 790 Duke has a weakness in that the suspension spring preload is only adjustable at the rear. The Yamaha MT-07, on the other hand, has a slightly less appealing appearance and the controls on the handlebars may feel a bit cheap.
In conclusion, both the KTM 790 Duke 2020 and the Yamaha MT-07 2020 have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Yamaha MT-07 2020
The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above.
