KTM's middleweight naked bike, the 790 Duke, is returning as a 2027 model, and an overseas outlet has published a first-ride report. The model, once popular for its lively parallel-twin engine and sharp design, is back in the lineup. While reportedly not a major overhaul, the return of this staple has been welcomed.

The 790 Duke's return genuinely makes me happy. A light chassis paired with a lively parallel twin — that combination is one of the ideal formulas for the middleweight class. Even without a major overhaul, refining an already-complete character and bringing it back is the right call. As someone who knows the old 790, I want to check exactly what got refined, down to the details.

Didn't know the 790 Duke had disappeared from the lineup for a while.

It had a reputation for a nimble parallel twin, but how do output and weight actually compare to the previous model?

Probably just modernizing the electronics while deliberately keeping the character unchanged.

Not being a big overhaul kind of makes me feel the novelty factor might be a bit thin, honestly.

The 790 line was away from KTM for a while, so its return means something for the brand.

A staple model's return is straightforwardly good news for fans, even without a big overhaul.
