I saw a new 2020 Duke 890 R at a dealer... not sold during the past 16 months it has been there. I was very keen to buy as it comes with reduced price + Akra slip on + Tech pack + full warranty but after reading a lot of bad reports on the 890 R here I'm in serious doubt. Should I rather look at something else? (Triple 765 RS?) Regards!

I have both. I'd say the 890 R is a better bike for most riders on most days. It's a little more comfortable--mostly more leg room. Seat is worse on the KTM, even the Ergo. Stripler has a better engine sound. Um...that's about it.
