Great video. I've got an NH80 and it's a fantastic little bike. If it could sit on 100km/h I would have no issue riding it across the country. I'm interested in the CB350 shock upgrade, do you have a link to any more info?
I bought Riley’s first 890, he saved my BDR when no 890s were available in Canada thanks to pandemic. All dealers were sold out for months. Been lovin’ it ever since. Now where did I put my spare cam shafts…. But dude, a TW200? Seriously?
Previous owner of my Kawasaki had removed the reflectors - the screws to add them back on were $30 from kawasaki. I think Japanese bikes aren't nearly as cheap as people act. They do break parts way less often than bikes from other countries, but they still are expensive to fix.
Thanks for the great video 🙏, I got my crf300l about 3 weeks ago coming from a 1000cc 2017 FZ10 and I'm actually enjoying it more😅 , I've experienced everything you said in the video and got it for the same reasons, I can totally relate, this bike is so nice to just hop on and zip around everywhere. Keep up the good work 👍 Cheers !!🤘😄
This video in just explaining how normal people do the normal toys. We wanna do a video, 6 months later oh you don't have that, no you didn't seem to have any follow through. Happens with me and my friends, friends. Oh you didn't buy that for life?
I think it's great their shaking up the market. But with no dealer support near me if Honda releases a 450/500 with a 270 degree crank or if a new DRZ400/450 comes out I'd go that route.
If you like to be stranded.... get a KTM, if you like to walk..... get a KTM. Ive had 4 of them and they all are super unreliable... except for my 300 2 stroke, it rocks, besides i have to bleed the front brake everytime i ride it.
@@Roberta_Esposito hahah I agree! However I was chatting with a sales person at KTM and he told me that the 2024 models and up will no longer have unlockable features. I haven’t confirmed this, just his word
I love mine, it was my first bike. I got it for $400 from a barn, replaced the condenser, and it started in one kick. Still runs fine, just burns oil like nothing else.
I also have a Savage which was my first motorcycle and I keep it in storage to this day, I'm sad that I don't have anyone to go on adventures like that.✌️🍻👍
Question: I’m looking at the 300L and the 300L rally. I’ve seen a few comments on the rally’s difficult angles and plastics for maintenance. Thoughts vs the 300L (plain)
I'm currently on a 22 890 I think about The possibility for electrical issues or cams none of these have shown up yet 12,000 miles . The grin Factor on this bike just blows my mind I can't believe what I can do on it it's just so well engineered to be a hooligan and to hit dirt and for that matter rail through the twisties even on knobbies. I'm just going to ride it out and that's it I love it
I have a 2023 890 Adventure R. Like has been previously mentioned, it’s a thoroughbred off-road. Amazing power, ideal weight distribution and great suspension. The brakes have saved me a few times already. I have had a couple issues with the TFL. The current one appears to be a cooling fan failure, but doesn’t affect performance. I may take the maintenance over and perform the work myself.
I’ve got the Pro. Thought I’d made a $13k mistake until I got my preload and clickers dialed-in. I absolutely love this bike so much now. I bought it after spending 7 days on the Husky/KTM RFR and yes, it lacks the refinement of the RFR, it’s plenty fast enough and even more comfortable. I actually like riding it more. I’m a similar weight / height BTW and had similar bucking and needed to lean way out over the bars in turns. It’s now amazing.
Just so happens I Bought my CRF 300L today, this video was so so perfect and timely to watch. keep it up! and the bike is so fun, I ride also a 2018 S1000R so this small CC bikes are still the best.
Hi, well, i did exactly the same, traded my dr650 for a 2014 ktm 500 xcw, same gas tank, fully equiped from a baja rider, and i also have to change clutch Maybe you are my lost twin😂 No regrets at all, well, saludos from guadalajara mexico
DUDES! Your first-person video skills are HORRIBLE. I wish I could have finished watching because I like your narration and other shots, but damn, dude! Your GoPro style shots are nauseating. Take it from a pro cinematographer, there are many things you can do to fix this. Please do your research and learn the skill. Your first person video is unwatchable. Otherwise, good content.
I have a 2019 ktm 790R since new, only 12 thousand miles on it but it has been very mechanically sound, never back to the dealer. There are small things like the hard starting issue, which I'm about to fix with a fuel X lite, for 200 bucks, but the power and suspension is just awesome. I could never go down to a lesser powered bike, it would just be boring. Some want extreme reliability but I want a bike that rips, both on the street and single track, to each their own, as long as you're having fun, stay safe.
Very beutiful video. It might be overpriced/underspecced for what it is but it's kind of the only thing in the class you can buy where i am. Like the CRF300L Ralley, kind of the same, a few upgrades and you have a long distance bike that can tackle any road.
just bought a 2018. hoping it is all good at 1000k miles. had full fmf powerbomb, 2 tooth up in rear and relatively clean. just changed oil, realized it has the 3x3mod after removing seat. Assuming possible carb work. had to loosen exhaust cause header was touching frame but I am so frickin paranoid something is wrong with this thing. Only thing left to do is figure out if "idle" is too low as it stalls at times and/or takes forever to need a no choke. Admittedly, this is the first time dealing with a carb outside chain saws and trimmers. I have less than 2 miles on it around my neighborhood till I get the title and register it. Pray for me yall.
I’m genuinely curious about the Tuareg’s reliability. They don’t sell as much so of course not as many people are reporting issues, I just saw a video of someone who reported scorched cams on his Tuareg. I’m actively researching for the Tuareg and the 890 as they cost the same in my country, so any bit of information would be appreciated.
