For the 2027 790 Duke, before the spec sheet even, the phrase 'redesigned rider-first' is what grabs me. 105hp from the 799cc twin is plenty fast already, but the real evolution is in refining the ergonomics and chassis. If you sat on it next to the old model, I bet even how your knees grip the tank would feel different. This is the part that gets me.
