Yeah annoying isn't it. First time doing a two way talk like this. Didn't even realise I was saying yup so often. As lot of room for improvement there lol
A friend and I done a whiskey shot every time you said yep , the doc says we should be fully recovered in about 6 months or so😂😂 In all seriousness, very informative video. I’ll be selling the 790R and buying a 690/ 701 soon. Thanks for the vid!!
Lmfao.... Yeah didn't realise I was saying yep so much. First time doing a two way chat like that. Glad you could see the funny side of it Thanks for watching Regards Steve
Great bike set up. Interesting to hear REALISTIC comments about the off-road accessibility (or otherwise!) of the likes of the T7, 890/901 and Tuareg options.
Sorry I seemed to have missed this comment or never got back to it. Yeah and the Desert X as well. I still call these mid size bikes touring bikes and not necessarily adventure bikes. I have no direct experience but I will note this. When using these bikes for off-road adventure the lower the centre of gravity is the better. That's where KTM/Husqvarna have got it right. I get concerned when I see large fuel tanks up so high. Of note the T7 WR has a lower tank now. (I've owned two Tenere's both with 23lts up high) I will be in the market for a touring "twin" not too far away and all the bikes you have mentioned I will give due consideration. Even Brendan from the vid is talking the same. Watch this space.... Lol Thanks for watching Regards Steve
Super video.. Great guys My only observation is; that I’m surprised he actually needed the pannier racks. Both Mosko and Kriega make great rackless pannier systems. Why add unnecessary weight ?
I know this is an old upload but you over talk the interviewee way too much. Just ask the questions and we shall receive. Other than that, the bikes you present are exactly what we want to here about
I think you did a great job making this video. I enjoyed the conversation you had, you asked the right questions, and we got the right answers. Very informative and I like the way you did the interview.
Good video Steve, got to love a good 701 build, I very nearly went that way with a 690, but for what I wanted to do my 450 i just built up is maybe 125 kgs dry .
Hi Chase if we have anything that doesn't work for use you stop using them. I'm finding for example the Enduristan stuff not working that well on my latest bike so going to a different system. Are U talking about electronics or camping gear or bike accessories anything particular? Regards Steve
@@chasejiannalone8763 Hi Chase sorry read the original reply as Crap thinking it was a typo. I do know someone who has a mobile CPAP device I'll follow it up and get back to Regards Steve
Yeah good question. I'm 6 foot, 183 cm and I find it good. I do sit back on the seat a fair way and the air flow hits the top of my helmet and doesn't grab the visor. Had the 18 model 690 with the Rade tower and it was equally as good. These are not touring bikes with huge screens and tanks to remove all the buffeting but a very good compromise. Can't stand the wind hitting me in the chest.
Yeah the yes count from me was very high. Sorry first time I had done something like an interview. I'll cable tie my lips next time..... Lol Thanks for watching Regards Steve
Constructive criticism alert. The yup yup yup yup yup made it so incredibly awkward to watch. Ill never know if this video was any good it was too annoying to continue watching. I had to switch off.
Yeah I know never done a interview style vid like that. Didn't realise I was doing it and couldn't edit it out.,... Lol don't blame U for tuning out. Regards Steve
If you have to make a bike into something else? You bought the wrong bike. These things are an in between thing, not a dirtbike, not a roadbike. Not that I dont want one. The wide ratio box is 4K US dollars + labor for splitting the engine. At resale time all this farkle money is gone, a non entity.
