I just put my KTM on the trailer to head down to the Tail of the Dragon. Stopped to check my phone and Bam! A new 44teeth review. Perfect timing lads!

I'm waiting for the "Yeah but ktm break down" comment.
Between a 990adv and my 1290 sas I've covered ( thrashed)78, 000 miles mostly across Europe in the last 4.5
4yrs. Never put a spanner on either.

Getting more and more excited about the Gen3 GT. Both SDR and the SAS get blinding reviews so fingers crossed for the practical version without the off road compromises.

[LambChopRides]

Got one in a few weeks time for a week, really looking forward to it now! 🙌

[Nekminute]

got 60 000 kms on my 1290 still goin strong

Gents thanks for introducing me to RST gear. Getting back on two wheels after about a 5 year hiatus and just ordered some fresh RST what nots. Thanks- a viewer from the US.

'Plenty in the tank...sir'

How did I not notice this first watch round! 😂

I've a 2021 vstrom xt (over 9k miles). Rusting aside it's a fantastic bike although the power and grunt for me is hugely missing.

My next purchase is 100% the KTM adventure S. I was wanting the R but after watching the motorbike shows review on the S.... it's VERY capable offroad.

and by adventure we mean we put a 19 inch wheel and longer stravel suspension on what basically is a sport touring bike

I did a double take when you said you were in a "heatwave". 21 or 22 degrees. I live in Australia and a normal summers day is anywhere from 30 to 35 degrees. A heatwave is 40 degrees plus. Last year we had a couple of days of 45 degrees. Now thats hot. Every bike I have ever owned has been hot to ride in summer. Mind you, we think it's cold when it's about 15 degrees. But we can easily ride all year round.

"With this heatwave we're having, it's 21 degrees"

*Laughs in Australian*

[akmblr]

21 degrees is what we consider ideal riding weather in the subcontinent 😜

[pierredelecto]

So would you pick the new Super Adventure or the new BMW 1250 GS Adventure?

[richiedewen]

Just 1:27 into the video and we find out why the bike is such a beast, Its not shortened chassis, Its not the fire breathing 1290cc lump, Its not the 6 axis flux capacitor gubbings!
Underneath all that plastic is a Cyberman!

Fagan removing the seat's like Jeremy Beadle building IKEA furniture.
