I CANNOT believe you did the off road test after seeing how muddy it was. You my friend, are insane.

[Anton_G_]

I love how Zack looked at the mud, said "it's insane" and then you hear it click into 1st. My man.

[GLBETREKKER]

Sketchyest off road section yet! Props for not wiping out over there, seamed horrible! lol

[Remymoto]

Zack, proving that anything is an adventure bike if you're skilled enough.

[BS]

Finally an offroad section that scared Zack - never thought I'd see the day.

[SVTBansheeman]

So basically the perfect bike to learn on while on my 5 minute ride to the local Walmart. Thank you.👍

[TheBamcrab]

lmao I was fully prepared to excuse you for skipping the off road detour. That is exactly why Zach is my favorite motorcycle journalist.

[elwood]

That was the most entertaining off road ride I’ve ever seen.

[jclj]

+1 on the XR. We still need a daily rider for it

[pistolpete]

Insane off roading, I was stressed watching that part! Great review!

[waltwalton]

Railroad track timber check. "I just want it to be over" choked on my coffee. Awesome!

[trashblast]

Today's ride had one of the least off roady bikes on one of the off roadiest off road tests we've ever seen... Zach's awesome

[stoneslash]

thank you for not wimping out at the "offroad" section. We all appreciate you taking that step for us.

[paulscott]

I think you should definitely do a track day and just like the Ducati, put it up against the 2005 gsxr

[NYCZ]

when it comes to heated grips on BMW’s the “Hi” setting is intended to get the grips up to temp quickly. The grips will get too hot unless you have thick gloves on. “Lo” is the normal operating setting.

[snackpacking]

Bike just went to 80mph in 1st gear. My KLR 650 barely wants to go 80mph in 5th 🤣

[westondifranco]

Zachs face on the thumb nail just makes these even better.

[SoDakTwisties]

When he got to the off-road portion, I was like "No way is he going to do this" but this mad lad still does it, LMAO.

[katbercar]

Zack's outer-monologue going down that mud tract was the same as my inner-monologue when I take my bike down a tract and then realize it's a bad idea.

[cycle_Therapy]

The hole, or flat spot you speak of is in the ecu only in north American models. A simple flash unrestricts it and becomes a monster in the whole rpm range.
